Wind power technology in 2025 pushed well beyond incremental upgrades, with engineers rethinking how, where, and even what wind turbines look like. From floating giants the size of city blocks and record-breaking offshore machines to AI-driven micro turbines and radical “walls of turbines,

With over 350,000 wind turbines currently in use globally, wind continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. In 2021, 93.6 GW of new installations brought global cumulative wind power capacity to 837 GW, showing year-over-year ...

The share of wind power in total electric power generation is expected to increase, and with that comes a requirement for this carbon-free source to be more reliable. The most important component of a wind power system, the wind turbine, is exposed to ...

LITTLETON, Colorado, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Power generated by Texas wind farms dropped by 22% in January 2024 from the same month in 2023 as low wind speeds continue to stifle output across the main power system in Texas, the largest power market in the ...

Wind turbines keep getting bigger: Each blade can be longer than a football field, and one offshore turbine recently installed in China is as tall as a 50-story building. Making the base to hold up a standard turbine can take 40 truckloads of concrete.

Traces of asbestos have been found in brake and clutch pads used inside service lifts of wind turbines, prompting safety recalls, quarantines, and renewed scrutiny of offshore wind supply chains. The asbestos was detected in internal lift components supplied by Chinese manufacturer 3S Industry,

IEA-PVPS and IEA-Wind have updated their guidance on how to conduct system impact studies of solar-wind power systems. The “Recommended practices for Wind/PV integration studies” report covers practical experience and methodologies of designing and executing integration studies.

Renewable power is expanding at a pace the world has never seen before. Solar and wind projects now shape national energy strategies, rural electrification plans and corporate sustainability goals. Yet one challenge has always accompanied these clean resources: they do not produce electricity all the time.

Vestas Wind Systems, despite its market leadership, faces significant challenges due to geopolitical issues, infrastructure inadequacies, and intense competition. The company's valuation has dropped significantly, presenting a potential upside, but it's ...
