The UK could store sufficient green hydrogen in depleted North Sea oil and gas fields to meet projected electricity demand for up to seven years, according to new research. Geologists and engineers from the Durham Energy Institute at the University of Durham modelled hydrogen storage scenarios against half-hourly data on electricity generation and demand, using both historical records and future system simulations.

The Dutch government is increasing financial support for two new offshore wind farms in the North Sea. By raising the maximum tender prices for IJmuiden Ver Gamma-A and Gamma-B, the cabinet expects sufficient market interest to enable the development of 2 GW of new wind capacity. Both sites will be brought to market through subsidy tenders in November, with commissioning expected around 2032.

The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has dismissed the Trump administration’s appeal in a case concerning a federal pause on wind energy permitting, leaving in place a lower court ruling that vacated the policy. The dispute stems from a presidential memorandum issued on 20 January, which directed federal agencies to pause approvals for wind energy projects pending review. Following the directive, agencies halted permitting and approval activities for wind developments.

A new analysis by Menon Economics and TGS | 4C Offshore estimates that the construction and operation of offshore wind farms supported around 180,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs across Europe in 2025. Of the roughly 180,000 FTEs, around 55,000 were employed by companies supplying goods and services directly to offshore wind projects, while a further 125,000 jobs were supported through the wider supply chain. This means that each direct job supported around two additional jobs elsewhere in the supply chain.
