GE Vernova has been given the green light to build an up to 18MW prototype offshore wind turbine that would be one of the ...

Wind farms are now a reality in the U.S., heralding a new chapter in the country's sustainable energy production ambitions. But new technologies come with new challenges, and for offshore wind ...

Even though offshore wind is just getting going in the United States, the turbines that will be used are changing dramatically — growing bigger and bigger.

The next round of offshore wind power projects for Massachusetts moved even further out of reach Monday when state officials ...

Many offshore wind turbines use a direct drive design, but some do include a gearbox, which means a smaller permanent magnet generator can be used to produce the same level of power.

Roughly 80% of Florida’s offshore wind energy can be found over water deeper than 200 feet, where turbines would likely be built on floating platforms, according to a 2016 report from the U.S ...

The state’s offshore wind power aspirations were set even further back Monday with a six-month delay in the process of finalizing new projects.

Offshore wind was found to be a key new energy source in meeting such a goal — especially on the East Coast, which is home to large populations and limited space on land for renewables generation.

When the bid window was first announced, the state said it sought to award between 1.2 gigawatts (1,200 MW) and roughly 4 gigawatts (4MW) of offshore wind generation capacity.

Phil Murphy said in September that the state’s new goal is to increase offshore electric wind generation to get to 11,000 megawatts of usage by 2040.
