The latest renewable energy news includes announcements on Rosslare Europort’s wind hub, Cerulean Winds, 992-MW Romanian Array, among others.
Irish Port Submits Plans for Offshore Wind Hub
Rosslare Europort has submitted plans to develop Ireland’s first dedicated offshore renewable energy hub. The proposal includes new quays, berths, and infrastructure to support the construction, assembly, and maintenance of offshore wind projects. The hub is designed to serve Ireland’s fast-growing offshore wind sector, with national targets of 5 GW by 2030 and 20 GW by 2040. Investment in port facilities underlines the strategy of building a strong supply chain and enabling large-scale deployment. Technology focus includes heavy-lift capacity, storage areas, and digital logistics systems. Customer focus is on providing world-class services to developers and operators. Benefits include job creation, regional economic growth, accelerated offshore wind rollout, and strengthening Ireland’s energy independence and decarbonisation goals.
Cerulean Files 1-GW Aspen Offshore Consent Bid
Cerulean Winds has lodged a consent application for its 1-GW Aspen floating offshore wind project in the UK North Sea. The scheme is central to Cerulean’s strategy of delivering large-scale floating wind to support decarbonisation of industrial energy users. Aspen will deploy advanced floating wind turbine technology suitable for deep-water conditions, underlining innovation in offshore design and engineering. The investment aims to create a long-term, sustainable energy hub that integrates clean electricity with industrial demand. Customer focus is on providing competitively priced renewable power for heavy industry and offshore operators. Benefits include reduced emissions, job creation, supply chain opportunities, and strengthening the UK’s leadership role in floating wind development.
First Turbine Installed at 992-MW Romanian Array
The first wind turbine has been installed at the 992-MW Romanian offshore wind project, marking a key construction milestone. The development, one of the largest in Southeast Europe, underscores Romania’s strategy to expand renewable capacity and strengthen regional energy security. The array will deploy turbine technology designed for high efficiency and reliability in varying conditions. Investment highlights commitment to large-scale clean energy infrastructure, supporting EU climate and decarbonisation goals. Customer focus is on delivering sustainable, cost-competitive electricity to the national grid. Benefits include emissions reduction, job creation, and economic growth, positioning Romania as a rising hub in the European offshore wind sector while advancing regional transition to clean energy.
