South Korea has presented a revised strategy for offshore wind development, shifting from broad capacity ambitions to a programme centred on implementation, cost reduction, and supply chain readiness. The plan was set out by an intergovernmental task force led by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment and is intended to accelerate deployment in national waters.

The European Commission has presented the EU Grids Package, a set of legislative and policy measures aimed at modernising and expanding Europe’s electricity infrastructure. The Package seeks to address long-standing bottlenecks in grid development, improve permitting processes, and support investment in both transmission and distribution networks. Its goal is to create a more integrated, resilient, and future-proof energy system capable of supporting high shares of wind and other renewables.

A Boston District Court judge has ruled in favour of 17 states and the District of Columbia, including Massachusetts and New York, finding section two of the 20 January “Wind Order” unlawful and directing federal agencies to end the indefinite pause on wind energy permitting. Section one of the order, which suspends wind energy leasing, remains in force.

The UK National Energy System Operator (NESO) has confirmed a new pipeline of deliverable, shovel-ready energy projects that will be prioritised for connection to the electricity networks in the UK. NESO has worked with government, investors, networks, Ofgem, and the wider energy sector on an overhaul of the connections process. For years, outdated rules left projects in a queue that had grown to more than 700 GW, around four times what is required by 2030.

WindEurope and Hitachi Energy have released a joint study assessing the total system costs of five possible energy pathways for Europe to 2050. Four pathways reach net zero, while a fifth “slow transition” pathway does not. The analysis concludes that a system built around high shares of wind and solar remains the lowest-cost option, even when accounting for grids, storage and back-up generation.
