A new study by the Bundesverband Windenergie Offshore (BWO) reports that migratory birds almost completely avoid wind turbines, resulting in a far lower collision risk than previously assumed. The study, conducted by BioConsult SH, examined the actual collision risk in a coastal onshore wind farm in northern Germany, aiming to provide data to support nature-compatible wind energy development.

Governor Tina Kotek has signed Executive Order 25-29 to increase the pace of Oregon’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions while supporting grid reliability and energy affordability. The order sets out new expectations for state agencies and strengthens coordination across energy, environmental and planning bodies. Executive Order 25-29 directs agencies to advance the Oregon Energy Strategy by adopting greenhouse-gas reduction measures aligned with the strategy’s five least-cost pathways. Agencies will adjust work plans and performance indicators where needed to track progress.

The Danish Energy Agency has launched tenders for three offshore wind areas with a combined minimum capacity of 2.8 GW. These are North Sea Mid, Hesselø in the Kattegat and North Sea South. Developers will bid under a two-sided capability-based contract for difference, which guarantees a fixed electricity price and limits risk from low market prices. The model allows the state to reclaim income when prices exceed the strike price. It has been introduced following market concerns about exposure to price volatility.
