Oil and gas companies can bring welcome war chests and skills to the offshore wind sector, but not everyone is happy with the majors’ approach to this globally vital clean energy sector
Recent auction results have raised questions about the oil and gas industry’s strategies for offshore wind development
GROWING PRESENCE Oil and gas companies are taking a growing share of the offshore wind pie
UNCLEAR INTENTIONS Despite apparent synergies between the two industries, oil and gas firms do not seem to have a unified strategy for offshore wind
KEY QUOTE It’s an absolute race to the bottom, which, if you think it through, really could ruin the industry ...

North Africa has enough solar and wind energy to easily power the whole of Europe but plans to export renewables generation across the Mediterranean have so far floundered. The burgeoning clean hydrogen sector could change the picture
A country with significant renewables potential and one of the fastest-growing heat pump markets worldwide, Poland’s energy transition is being hampered by a stubborn coal fleet and grid limitations. A growing level of support and investment among the general public may help ease its path
Wind power will be central to the energy transition, but it is currently stuck in the mire. Unsticking itself is all but straightforward
Struggling wind turbine makers might want to cast their eye over the experience of other global industries in search of clues for success, says Ed Wagner at WindESCo
Finding the most efficient way to pay for the energy transition is not an easy affair—but lawmakers worldwide seem to be increasingly converging on contracts for difference as the mechanism of choice to fund emerging technologies
A slew of lacklustre state-run auction results could threaten Europe’s ability to meet binding climate targets. The systems that have brought gigawatt levels of clean energy generation are ailing
Significant investment power is held within a few state-owned reserves but these conservative sovereign funds are only just beginning to notice the potential returns of clean energy after decades of profiting from fossil fuels
Floating platforms could open up swathes of the ocean with water depths beyond 60 metres to the offshore wind sector. To tap into those areas, though, floating offshore wind first needs to become less expensive. A European research project is looking to secure some of those price gains to make the technology finally competitive
