The latest renewable energy news includes announcements on Lillebaelt Syd offshore wind project in Denmark, Boom Power in England, Leeward’s solar project in England, among others.
Geotechnical Surveys Begin for Lillebaelt Syd Offshore Wind Farm
Geotechnical surveys have commenced for the Lillebaelt Syd offshore wind project in Denmark, marking a critical step in the development phase. Carried out by Fugro, the surveys will assess seabed conditions to inform turbine foundation and cable route designs. Located in the Little Belt strait between Jutland and Funen, the wind farm is part of Denmark’s strategy to increase offshore capacity and meet its 2030 climate targets. The project is expected to contribute significantly to the national green transition, with a planned capacity of around 1 GW. The use of advanced geophysical and geotechnical technologies will ensure optimized design, reduced construction risk, and enhanced environmental management, ultimately delivering reliable, clean energy for thousands of Danish households.
Boom Power Wins Appeal for 49.9-MW Carr Farm Solar Project in England
Boom Power has won an appeal to develop the 49.9-MW Carr Farm Solar Project in East Yorkshire, UK, following an earlier rejection by the East Riding Council. The project is expected to supply clean electricity to over 14,000 homes annually, aligning with the UK’s net-zero goals. The company’s strategy focuses on developing utility-scale renewable projects despite local planning hurdles. Boom Power integrates biodiversity improvements, environmental stewardship, and local engagement into project development. The site includes plans for landscape buffering, ecological enhancements, and long-term sustainability. The investment underscores Boom’s commitment to expanding solar capacity in the UK, supporting energy security and decarbonization. The decision demonstrates the effectiveness of Boom Power’s planning resilience and strategic regulatory navigation.
Leeward Begins Construction of 152-MW Solar Projects in Oklahoma Backed by Google
Leeward Renewable Energy has commenced construction on the 152-MW Prospect Solar and Origami Solar projects in Oklahoma. Backed by power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Google, the projects will support the tech giant’s commitment to operating on 24/7 carbon-free energy. The Prospect Solar (83 MW) and Origami Solar (69 MW) farms are expected to become operational in 2025. Leeward’s strategy involves scaling clean energy through long-term corporate partnerships and site development in high-resource regions. The projects will use advanced bifacial solar modules for increased energy yield. This initiative supports Google’s Oklahoma data center operations, helping decarbonize its energy consumption. Beyond emissions reduction, the projects will boost local economic activity through construction jobs and long-term tax revenue.
