Shift in Power: British Wind Farms Surpass Gas-Fired Electricity Generation For The First Time
In a significant milestone, wind farms across Britain have surpassed gas-fired power stations in electricity generation for the very first time in the initial quarter of 2023 according to new data released by Drax Electric Insights. Throughout the first three months of this year, offshore and onshore wind turbines accounted for 32.4% of the electricity […]
The Importance of Regular Rotor Blade Maintenance and Repair
Regular maintenance and repair of rotor blades is crucial for the efficient and long-term operation of wind turbines. Not only does it increase the life-span of wind turbines but it also helps maximize productivity. As an experienced rotor blade repair company, GEV Wind Power ensure that wind turbines run smoothly and help to prevent costly […]
What will happen to decommissioned wind turbine blades?
One of the biggest challenges that comes with wind power is how to recycle turbine blades. Up to 95% of a wind turbine can currently be recycled, however the rotor blades, once they’re no longer needed, pose the greatest challenge to end-of-use considerations for wind energy due to the costs and scale of recycling these […]
Upcoming offshore plans for 2023 and beyond
Offshore wind farms provide a significant amount of the energy generated by wind turbines and play a vital role in the transition to clean energy. This year, a multitude of new sites are scheduled to be awarded for wind farm construction. The shift towards a more sustainable future can be seen on a global scale, […]
Australia Plans to Expand Into The Wind Industry
A new Labor government has come in to power with ambitions to transform Australia’s approach to climate change with a $20bn dollar investment into the renewable industry. The political party are promising to reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by 43%, which is a considerably higher cut promise than the previous liberal coalition’s target of 26-28%. […]
