Episode notes

Welcome to the ‘Wind Power’ news review – hosted by Windpower Monthly’s editor, Ian Griggs, and Windpower Monthly reporter, Orlando Jenkinson – along with our regular panellists, Shashi Barla and Will Sheard.

This time on the news review: has US offshore wind turned the corner after a series of setbacks? Our regular panelists give their verdict.

The advance of Chinese turbine technology continues apace, but how concerned should Western OEMs be that their competitors will steal a march on them with European developers?

Meanwhile, back in Europe, some developers have criticized so-called negative bidding in Germany and the Netherlands, claiming that it makes projects unviable but are state regulators listening to their concerns?

And finally, is a summer of industrial strife on the cards after a German union, which represents workers from several turbine firms, threatened strikes if their pay demands are not met?
