Episode notes

Welcome to the Wind Power news review – hosted by Windpower Monthly senior reporter, Robyn White, and Windpower Monthly reporter, Orlando Jenkinson – along with our regular panellists, Shashi Barla and Will Sheard.

This time on the news review; we’ll ask our panellists for their views on the recent blade issues that impacted GE Vernova’s Haliade X turbines in the US and UK, and ask how serious this could be for the reputation of the offshore wind industry. 

We also explore how a new government in the UK is looking to re energise wind power in the country by boosting a recent renewables tender, and ending the de-facto ban on new onshore wind. 

Meanwhile, Siemens Gamesa’s 4.X turbines are back on sale again. Is there light at the end of the tunnel for this troubled wind turbine platform? 

Finally, we explore how China’s industrial dominance is causing concern for workers at European wind energy manufacturers.
