Wind Power

In the second of a four-part series recorded at last month’s WindEurope conference in Madrid, Tara Singh, CEO of Renewable UK, talks to the Wind Power podcast about the current global energy crisis and how that makes the case for increasing the focus on renewables.
Windpower Monthly editor Ian Griggs spoke to Singh about the political outlook for wind power in the UK and about how the industry should respond to anti-wind narratives.
Singh also discussed how she would respond to US president Donald Trump’s ‘drill baby, drill’ mantra.

In the first of a four-part series recorded at last month’s WindEurope conference in Madrid, Girish Tanti, co-founder and vice chairman of Suzlon, talks to the Wind Power podcast about returning to the European market with the company’s new 'Blue Sky' platform.

In an interview recorded only 24 hours after the company launched its new Blue Sky turbine platform, Windpower Monthly editor Ian Griggs spoke to Tanti about how he rated Suzlon’s chances of being chosen by developers to power European projects against the bloc’s established incumbents.

Tanti also discussed the specific challenges in the European market and whether the EU is currently a good trading environment for non-western turbine manufacturers.

This time on the Wind Power Podcast, we focus on women in the wind power industry, speaking with three senior figures about progress on gender inclusion and the challenges that remain in the sector.

Firstly, Rebecca Williams, deputy CEO of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), shares a global view of how gender inclusion is evolving across the industry.

Meanwhile, Juliette Sanders, chief communications officer at Energy UK – also known by her ‘windfluencer’ alter ego Killah Jules – discusses her career into wind and the day to day challenges women can face.

Finally, Jane Cooper reflects on how participation has changed over time and what more can be done to attract and support women in the sector.

In a special episode of the Wind Power podcast ahead of next week's WindEurope conference in Madrid, RWE offshore chief Sven Utermöhlen discusses the contribution that wind energy can make to Europe’s future energy security.

During this episode, Utermöhlen talked about why avoiding boom and bust cycles – and settling on the correct auction design – is even more important than the overall pace of the energy transition.

Also on the agenda was how best to use Europe's wind power manufacturing base and whether there is a part to play for Chinese manfacturers in European wind projects.

Welcome to the Wind Power News Review – hosted by Windpower Monthly's senior reporter, Robyn White, and Windpower Monthly's reporter, Orlando Jenkinson – along with our regular panellists, Shashi Barla and Sorcha Versteeg.

In this episode, we examine the escalating pressure on the US offshore wind sector. TotalEnergies has accepted the US government's $1 billion buyout of its offshore wind projects – what will this mean for the market?

We also explore the latest global installation data, where Chinese OEMs have once again dominated annual additions. Do these figures show that Chinese OEMs are now major global players beyond their massive domestic market?

Finally, we look at the growing impact of the conflict in Iran. With countries such as the UK and Germany accelerating wind auction plans in response, could other countries follow suit?
