Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Cadeler, Vestas, Skyborn, Siemens Gamesa, EDF, among others.
New Cadeler Vessel to Serve Vestas in EUR 210m Deal
Cadeler has signed a EUR 210 million agreement with Vestas to deploy its new wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) for multiple offshore wind projects. The contract spans four years starting in 2027, supporting the installation of next-generation offshore wind turbines, including those exceeding 20 MW in capacity. This partnership aligns with Cadeler’s strategy to expand its fleet with advanced vessels optimized for larger, more complex turbines, ensuring operational efficiency and precision. Vestas strengthens its supply chain resilience through secured long-term installation capacity. The deal reflects growing demand for larger, more powerful offshore turbines and technological innovation in vessel design. Benefits include increased project efficiency, reduced installation timelines, and contributions to accelerating the global offshore wind energy transition.
Skyborn, Siemens Gamesa Ink Gennaker Deals
Skyborn Renewables and Siemens Gamesa have signed agreements for the supply and maintenance of turbines for the 960 MW Gennaker offshore wind project in the German Baltic Sea. Siemens Gamesa will deliver 103 SG 14-236 DD offshore wind turbines, each with a 14 MW capacity and 236-meter rotor diameter, among the world’s largest in operation. The long-term service contract ensures optimized performance, reliability, and availability throughout the project’s lifecycle. This partnership aligns with Skyborn’s strategy to advance large-scale offshore wind developments in Germany and strengthen the country’s energy transition goals. Benefits include significant contributions to Germany’s renewable energy targets, enhanced grid stability, reduced emissions, and provision of clean electricity to over 900,000 households upon completion.
EDF Bags Consent for 50MW Irish Wind Farm
EDF Renewables has secured planning consent for the 50 MW Derrybrien North Wind Farm in County Leitrim, Ireland, consisting of up to 10 turbines with modern, high-efficiency technology. The project is expected to generate approximately 125 GWh annually, enough to power around 36,000 homes. It aligns with Ireland’s target to achieve 80 percent renewable electricity by 2030 and supports EDF’s strategy to grow its onshore wind portfolio across Europe. The project emphasizes minimal environmental impact, community engagement, and local economic benefits, including job creation during construction and operation. EDF will integrate grid-friendly technologies to support stability and reliability. Benefits include reduced carbon emissions, enhanced energy independence, and meaningful contributions to Ireland’s long-term climate and energy security goals.
