TGS 4C report highlights slowdown in global offshore wind activity during 2025
- Category: Industry News
Stalled site auctions, delayed final investment decisions and cancelled offtake contracts continued to weigh on the global offshore wind industry in 2025, according to the latest Global Market Overview report by wind market research and intelligence provider TGS 4C. The analysis shows that long-term expectations have been revised downwards. Forecast global offshore wind installed capacity for 2030 has been reduced by 28% year on year. Expected capacity outside China has fallen from 192 GW to 121 GW. Europe and the Asia-Pacific region are both affected, with forecast reductions of 21% and 31% respectively, indicating a broad-based slowdown rather than isolated regional weakness.

Ecowende tests low-noise monopile installation methods at Dutch offshore wind farm
- Category: Product News
Ecowende is testing alternative monopile installation methods at its offshore wind farm in the Dutch North Sea, working with CAPE Holland and GBM Works. The trials focus on vibro-based techniques intended to reduce underwater noise during the installation of large-diameter monopiles. As offshore wind turbines increase in size, monopiles have become larger and heavier, increasing the underwater noise associated with conventional impact pile driving. Such noise can affect marine mammals, including harbour porpoises, even where mitigation measures are applied. The project is assessing whether vibro-based installation methods can reduce these effects while remaining technically viable in dense seabed conditions.
