Hundreds of billions in institutional dollars are pouring into now-conventional tech: wind, solar, and batteries. Their costs have plummeted below the price of natural gas. Regardless of who holds political office or what the pandemic can throw...
Environmental protection alone isn't enough; power from renewable energy sources must also be competitive with its fossil-fuel-generated counterparts. Especially for offshore wind turbines, whose production represents a significant proportion of...
The next phase of the wind industry is focusing on the continuous expansion of the massive offshore market. Existing offshore windfarms cannot reach the maximum amount of energy production needed for a growing worldwide population. That level of...
Wind farm profitability does not need to be razor thin It’s no secret that one of the reasons wind farms operate on such thin margins is the high cost of maintenance and repair. In traditional wind turbine condition monitoring systems, many...
An Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) is a sensor-based system that monitors the airspace around a wind farm, activating the obstruction lights only when aircraft are within a defined buffer zone. ADLS technology originated from the ‘Dark...
The next three years could be a defining period for the United States offshore wind sector. It represents a growth area of the maritime industry at both a domestic and international level. In March 2021, the White House announced that grant and...
As businesses across multiple industries in the Americas begin to receive government approval to return to their worksites from a COVID-19 imposed hiatus, clean energy is making an expedited return in the Americas. Construction recently...
A bipartisan bill was introduced recently by a rather unexpected duo: Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA). While these senators generally disagree on political matters, they managed to come together to introduce a bill on...
The growth of wind energy and other forms of renewable generation have been the main drivers in the development of energy storage since 2010. However, energy storage is typically most closely associated with solar energy rather than wind. This...
You’ve secured the land, obtained all necessary permits, negotiated utility contracts, secured capital funds, established the operations team, your maintenance contract is in place and the turbines have been erected. Now it’s time to throw the...
Island nations typically have a high dependence on imported fuels to supply their electric generation...
On May 10th, 2011, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced it will process only a select few of the last pending...More about Dickstein Shapiro LLP
Revolutionary for its time, agriculturists in the 1900s implemented age-old windmill technology for pumping...
To maximize operating efficiency, decrease downtime, and understand the overall health of wind turbines, it’s...
Over the last five years, the US onshore wind sector has been a relatively stable environment for investors, and is...
