Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Ampyr Solar Europe, Gorgast Solar Cluster, Vestas, Smulders, among others.
Ampyr Solar Europe Commissions 45-MWp Gorgast Solar Cluster in Germany
Ampyr Solar Europe has inaugurated the 45-MWp Gorgast solar cluster in Brandenburg, Germany, marking another step in its European renewable expansion. The project consists of three interconnected solar parks, collectively generating enough electricity to power over 13,000 homes annually. It features advanced bifacial panels and efficient grid connection systems, ensuring optimal land use and high energy yield. Strategically located, the project supports Germany’s clean energy transition and regional decarbonisation goals. Ampyr’s innovation-driven approach integrates AI-based monitoring and sustainable construction practices. The investment demonstrates the company’s long-term commitment to reliable, low-carbon generation while boosting local employment and contributing to the stability of the national power supply.
Vestas Halts Investment in Polish Wind Turbine Factory Amid Market Challenges
Vestas has paused its planned investment in a new wind turbine factory in Szczecin, Poland, due to uncertainty in market conditions and policy frameworks. The facility, intended to support offshore wind manufacturing and create hundreds of jobs, was part of Vestas’ broader European supply chain expansion. The decision follows a review of regional demand, inflationary pressures, and evolving industrial policies in the EU and Poland. Vestas reaffirmed its commitment to the Polish renewables market but stated that long-term investments depend on stable market visibility and supportive regulation. The pause reflects the industry’s wider challenges in scaling offshore wind supply chains while maintaining cost competitiveness and sustainability in a rapidly changing energy landscape.
Smulders Achieves Key Milestones on Poland’s Baltyk 2 & 3 Offshore Wind Projects
Smulders has reached major construction milestones for the Baltyk 2 and Baltyk 3 offshore wind farms in Poland, marking steady progress toward project completion. The company completed fabrication of key offshore substation and jacket foundation components at its Belgian and Polish facilities. The two projects, jointly developed by Equinor and Polenergia, will have a combined capacity of 1.44 GW and play a crucial role in Poland’s offshore wind expansion. Smulders’ engineering expertise and local content strategy are helping strengthen Poland’s offshore supply chain. The milestones highlight innovation in modular fabrication, quality assurance, and cross-border collaboration, paving the way for efficient installation and early renewable power generation in the Baltic Sea.
