Exciting times for the Bandibuli (Firefly) Floating Offshore Wind Farm project! ???? Siemens Gamesa’s 15 MW turbines have been selected for the 750 MW development, a major step forward for offshore wind in #SouthKorea. The partnership between Equinor, Siemens Gamesa, and Doosan Enerbility—who will assemble the nacelles locally in #Changwon—demonstrates the strength of global collaboration in driving clean energy innovation. With environmental impact assessment (EIA) approval in place and a Transmission Service Agreement signed with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), the #Bandibuli project is rapidly moving toward realization, helping to expand South Korea's renewable energy portfolio. #OffshoreWind #CleanEnergy #Renewables #SouthKorea #SiemensGamesa #Equinor #DoosanEnerbility #Bandibuli

?? New Zealand Fast Tracks 22 Renewable Energy Projects: A Bright Future for Clean Energy! ?? Great news for New Zealand’s renewable energy landscape – the government is accelerating 22 key projects to drive transition to a greener future! This fast-tracking will help the country meet its sustainability targets and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, ensuring a cleaner, more resilient energy system. However, there's some concern from offshore wind developers, particularly around the South Taranaki Bight. The proposed seabed mining in the area could potentially conflict with plans for a major offshore wind generation project, which is critical to New Zealand's long-term energy goals. #Developers are keeping a close watch to ensure these industries can coexist without hindering the growth of offshore wind. The fast-tracking of renewable projects is an exciting move, but it's essential that we balance these developments carefully to ensure that offshore wind, an important piece of our clean energy future, isn't compromised.

?? Unlocking Clean Energy Investment in Emerging Markets! ?? Exciting news from the World Economic Forum! They've just launched a groundbreaking Playbook of Solutions—a digital platform featuring 100 actionable solutions to unlock clean energy investment across 47 emerging and #developing economies. As we aim to triple renewables by 2030, scaling clean energy finance is critical, especially in regions like the Global South, which will see 90% of global energy demand growth by 2035. The Playbook offers real-world strategies, showcasing the power of public-private partnerships, innovative de-risking mechanisms, and smart policy frameworks. Points of note: 1. Policy for Clean Energy: Targeting barriers through energy, climate, and investment policies is key to unlocking capital for clean energy in emerging economies. 2. De-risking for Investment: Tools like guarantees, insurance, and blended finance reduce risks, making clean energy projects more attractive to investors. 3. Innovative Finance: Equity, debt, bonds, and carbon financing are crucial to bridge the clean energy investment gap in the Global South. 4. Scaling Investments: Clean energy investments must multiply by 5-7 times to meet global climate goals, requiring bold financial solutions. 5. Success Stories: 100 case studies from over 45 countries show how clean energy investments are succeeding, inspiring global action. Collaboration is key to unlocking the $1.7 trillion investment needed annually to make this a reality. #CleanEnergy #SustainableFinance #EnergyTransition #SPCleanEnergy

All eyes on South Korea this month ???? South Korea is holding an offshore wind auction in October 2024, kicking off its plan to launch 7-8 GW of tenders over the next two years. This auction is part of the government's Offshore Wind Power Competitive Bidding Roadmap, aiming to boost offshore wind capacity to 18.3 GW by 2030. The auction will focus on both price and non-price factors like maintenance and public services. Additionally, a new market for floating wind projects will also be introduced later this year. The upcoming offshore wind auction in South Korea this month has attracted strong interest from several #developers, with bids already oversubscribed. Companies like Vena Energy are likely to be involved, reflecting their ongoing focus on expanding in the Asia-Pacific offshore wind market. However, there's been a noted decline in overall capacity for the auction, which might temper enthusiasm or result in increased competition among bidders for limited opportunities. #offshorewind #SPCleanEnergy #offshorewindnews #APAC

Offshore Wind Sector Moves Forward in #Spain ???? The approval of the updated National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) 2023-2030 and the Royal Decree on Offshore Wind Power is a major milestone in Spain's renewable energy journey. ?? Key targets by 2030: 62 GW of wind power 3 GW of offshore wind This is a decisive step in advancing offshore wind development, with the first auction set for 2025 and clear pathways for growth. ?? Key Areas of Focus: 1. Streamlining wind project approvals 2. Incentivising electrification to balance demand and supply 3. Ensuring wind power coexists harmoniously with communities and the environment 4. Auctions that prioritise decarbonisation and value beyond price 5. Strengthening the entire Spanish wind power value chain #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #OffshoreWind #Spain #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #PNIEC #GreenGrowth

#Vietnam is taking significant steps toward integrating battery energy storage systems (BESS) into its national grid, supporting the country's growing renewable energy sector. Collaborations, including a pilot BESS project backed by The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aim to increase battery capacity to 300 MW by 2030. This initiative presents an exciting opportunity for Vietnam to boost energy flexibility, attract investments, and create green jobs while reducing carbon emissions. #RenewableEnergy #BESS #Sustainability #Vietnam

Great to see #Australia making such impressive progress on renewable energy! Adding 7GW of new #wind and #solar capacity this year is a major achievement that will help reduce emissions and energy costs. The uptick in large-scale project investments and continued strong growth in rooftop solar shows the sector's momentum. This puts Australia on a solid path toward its 82% renewables by 2030 goal. Exciting times ahead for clean energy!
