Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Hartek, Collett & Sons, Stranoch wind project, and others.
Hartek Secures INR 735 Crore in Power Systems Orders Across India
HARTEK’s Power Systems business unit has secured cumulative orders worth INR 735 crore across the PSU, Independent Power Producer (IPP), and industrial segments, marking a major growth milestone in power system engineering and execution. The projects span substations and transmission infrastructure from 66 kV to 765 kV, covering key states including Jammu, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. These developments will strengthen regional and interstate transmission networks, enhance grid reliability, and enable efficient renewable power evacuation. The wins reinforce Hartek’s end-to-end EPC capabilities in substations, switchyards, protection systems, and grid integration. The milestone aligns with its expansion into solar-plus-storage and grid-synchronized BESS solutions, supporting India’s rising renewable capacity and industrial power demand while advancing resilient, modern energy infrastructure.
Collett Completes Turbine Deliveries for Stranoch Wind Project
Heavy transport specialist Collett & Sons has completed the delivery of wind turbine components for the Stranoch wind project, marking a key milestone in the scheme’s construction phase. The complex logistics operation involved transporting oversized turbine blades, towers, and nacelles to the onshore site. The successful deliveries highlight the critical role of specialist heavy haulage and logistics providers in advancing onshore wind development. Efficient transport and coordination help keep construction timelines on track and reduce project risk. Once operational, the Stranoch wind farm will contribute renewable electricity, improved energy security, and emissions reductions, supporting the UK’s net-zero targets. The milestone underscores the importance of robust supply chains in scaling utility-scale wind energy infrastructure across the region.
France Reduces 2035 Offshore Wind Capacity Target
France has revised down its 2035 offshore wind capacity target, adjusting its medium-term deployment ambitions as it reassesses energy planning priorities and grid integration challenges. The updated outlook reflects a more measured build-out pace amid evolving market conditions, permitting timelines, and supply chain constraints. While the trimmed target signals caution, offshore wind remains central to France’s long-term decarbonisation and energy security strategy, particularly as the country balances nuclear, renewables, and grid expansion. Industry stakeholders are closely watching policy clarity and auction schedules to maintain investment momentum. For consumers, a stable and diversified energy mix remains key to price stability and reliability. The adjustment highlights the complexities of scaling large offshore projects while ensuring cost control, infrastructure readiness, and alignment with broader climate objectives.
