Now, here’s your host. Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I’m your host Alan Hall in the queen city of Charlotte, North Carolina, where a cold front is just blown through, but we’re not nearly as cold as Joel was up in Wisconsin, Joel, you had a bunch of snow, which is really the first big storm of the season. Joel Saxum: Yeah, the crazy thing here was the Wind Energy Podcast. So since that storm I, we, we got up in northern Wisconsin, 18 inches of snow, and then we drove down on last Saturday after US Thanksgiving through Iowa, there’s another 18 inches of snow in Des Moines. I talked to a more than one operator that had icing and snow issues at their wind farms all through the northern Midwest of these states. So from [00:01:00] North Dakota. All the way down to Nebraska, Northern Missouri, over into Indiana. There was a ton of turbines that were iced up and or snowed in from that storm, Allen Hall: and Rosemary was in warm Australia with other icing knowledge or de-icing knowledge while the US has been suffering. Rosemary Barnes: But you know, on the first day of summer here, a couple of days ago, it was minus one here overnight. So. Um, yeah, it’s, uh, unseasonable and then tomorrow it’ll be 35. Allen Hall: The smartest one of us all has been Yolanda, down in Austin, Texas, where it doesn’t get cold. Yolanda Padron: Never. It’s so nice. It’s raining today and that’s about it. Traffic’s going crazy. Joel Saxum: Rain is welcome for us, isn’t it though, Yolanda? Yolanda Padron: It’s sweet. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does. Very rainy for like 24 hours. Allen Hall: We’ve been saving a story for a couple of weeks until Rosemary is back and it has to do with birds and a year long study over [00:02:00] in Germany. And as we know, one of the most persistent arguments against wind energy has been the risk to birds and permitting and operation shutdowns have been the norm, uh, based on models and predicted collision risks. Well. A new study comes, has just come out that says, what if the models are all wrong? And the new German study suggests that they may be wrong. The Federal Association of Offshore Wind Energy, known by its German acronym, BWO Commission Research to examine. Actual collision risk at a coastal wind farm in Northern Germany. The study was conducted by Biocon Consult, a German research and consulting firm, and funded by eight major offshore wind operators, including Sted, Vattenfall, RWE, and E, roa, and. Rosemary using some of the newer technology. They were able to track bird movements with radar [00:03:00] and AI and stereo vision cameras to, to watch birds move through and around, uh, some of these wind farms. And it analyzed more than 4 million bird movements and over 18 months, and they searched for collision victims and what they found was pretty striking more than 99.8% of both day migrating and night migrating birds. Avoided the turbines entirely. The study found no correlation between migration intensity and collision rates. And BD and BWO says The combination of radar and AI based cameras represents a methodological breakthrough. Uh, that can keep turbines moving even when birds are in transit. This is pretty shocking news, honestly, Rosemary, I, I haven’t seen a lot of long-term studies about bird movements where they really had a lot of technology involved to, besides binoculars, to, to look at bird movement. The [00:04:00] 99.8% of the migrating birds are going around The turbines. No, the turbines are there. That’s. Really new information. Rosemary Barnes: I think. I mean, if you never heard anything about wind turbines and birds, I don’t think you’d be shocked like that. Birds mostly fly around obstacles. That’s probably an intuitive, intuitive answer. Because we’ve had it shoved down our throat for decades now. Wind turbines are huge bird killers. It’s kind of like, it’s been repeated so often that it kind of like sinks in and becomes instinctive, even though, yeah, I do think that, um, it’s. Not that, that shocking that an animal with eyes avoids a big obstacle when it’s flying. Um, but it is really good that somebody has actually done more than just trying to look for bird deaths. You know, they’ve actually gone out, seen what can we find, and then reported that they found mostly nothing. We already knew the real risks for birds, like hundreds or thousands, even millions of times [00:05:00] more, um, deadly to birds are things like. Cats. Cars, buildings, even power lines kill more birds than, um, wind turbines do. In fact, like when you look at, um, the studies that look at wind, um, bird deaths from wind turbines, most of those are from people driving, like workers driving to site and hitting a bird with their cars. Um, you know, that’s attributed to wind energy. Not a surprise maybe for people that have been following very closely, but good to see the report. Nonetheless. Joel Saxum: I think it’s a win for like the global wind industry, to be honest with you, because like you said, there’s, there’s no, um, like real studies of this with, that’s backed up by metric data with, like I said, like the use stereo cameras. Radar based AI detection and, and some of those things, like if you talk with some ornithologists for the big OEMs and stuff, they’ve been dabbling in those things. Like I dabbled in a project without a DTU, uh, a while back and it, but it wasn’t large scale done like this. A [00:06:00] particular win this study in the United States is there’s been this battle in the United States about what birds and what, you know, raptors or these things are controlled or should have, um, controls over them by the governments for wind installations. The big one right now is US Fish and Wildlife Service, uh, controls raptors, right? So that’s your eagle’s, owls, hawks, those kind of things. So they’ll map out the nests and you can only go in certain areas, uh, or build in certain areas depending on when their mating seasons are. And they put mild buffers on some of them. It’s pretty crazy. Um, but the one rule in the United States, it’s been kind of floated out there, like, we’re gonna throw this in your face, wind industry. Is the Federal Migratory Bird Act, which is also how they regulate all like the, the hunting seasons. So it’s not, it’s the reason that the migratory birds are controlled by the federal government as opposed to state governments is because they cross state lines. And if we can [00:07:00] prove now via this study that wind farms are not affecting these migratory bird patterns or causing deaths, then it keeps the feds out of our, you know, out of the permitting process for. For birds, Rosemary Barnes: but I’m not sure this is really gonna change that much in terms of the environmental approvals that you need to do because it’s a, you know, a general, a general thing with a general, um, statistical population doesn’t look at a specific wind farm with a specific bird and you’re still need to go. You’re still going to have to need to look at that every time you’re planning an actual wind farm. That’s it’s fair. Yolanda Padron: And it’s funny sometimes how people choose what they care or don’t care about. I know living in a high rise, birds will hit the window like a few a month. And obviously they will pass away from impact and the building’s not going anywhere. Just like a turbine’s not going anywhere. And I’ve never had anybody complain to [00:08:00] me about living and condoning high rises because of how they kill the birds. And I’ve had people complain to me about wind turbines killing the birds. It’s like, well, they’re just there. Joel Saxum: If we’re, if we’re talking about energy production, the, if everybody remembers the deep water horizon oil spill 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. That oil spill killed between 801.2 million birds. Just that one. Speaker 6: Australia’s wind farms are growing fast, but are your operations keeping up?

Wind Energy o and m Australia [00:09:00] is created by wind professionals for wind professionals because this industry needs solutions, not speeches Allen Hall: well in the high desert of Central New Mexico, near a lot of what were ghost towns that were abandoned during the Great Depression. If there is a flurry of activity pattern, energy sunzi, a project is near completion after 20 years of planning and permitting. When. It’s supposed to be finished in 2026. It’ll be the largest renewable energy project in the Western hemisphere. More than 900 turbines spread across multiple counties. A 550 mile transmission line stretching to Arizona and then onward to California, and $11 billion bet that’s being made on American wind. Now, Joel, it’s a kind of a combination of two OEMs there, Vestus and ge. The pace of building has been really rapid over the last six, eight months from what I can [00:10:00] tell. Joel Saxum: Yeah. We have talked to multiple ISPs, EPC contractors. Um, of course we know some of the engineers involved in building a thing on the pattern side. Right. But this sheer size of this thing, right, it’s, it is three and a half gigawatts, right? You’re talking 900 turbines and, and so big that one OEM really couldn’t, I mean, it’s a, it’s a risk hedge, right? But couldn’t fulfill the order. So you have massive ge tur set of turbines out there. Massive set of vestas turbines out there. And I think one thing that’s not to be missed on this project as well is that transmission line, that high voltage transmission line that’s feeding this thing. Because that’s what we need, right? That was when we built, started building up big time in Texas, the cre, the crest lines that were built to bring all of that wind energy to the major cities in Texas. That was a huge part of it. And we have seen over the last six months, we have seen loans canceled, uh, permits being pulled and like troubles being in hurdles, being thrown up in the face of a lot of these transmission lines that are planned. [00:11:00] These big ones in the states. And that’s what we need for energy security in the future, is these big transmission lines to go. So we can get some of this generation to, uh, to the market, get electrons flowing into homes and into industry. But this thing here, man, um, I know we’ve been talking about Sunz, the Sunz project, uh, and all the people involved in it, in the wind industry for a, what, two, three years now? Oh, at least. Yeah. It’s been in planning and development stage for much longer than that. But the. The, the big bet. I like it. Um, bringing a lot of, um, bringing a lot of economic opportunity to New Mexico, right? A place that, uh, if you’ve driven across New Mexico lately, it needs it in a dire way. Uh, and this is how wind energy can bring a lot of, uh, economic boom to places that, uh, hadn’t had it in the past. Allen Hall: And this being the largest project to date, there’s a, I think a couple more than a pipeline that could be larger if they get moving on them. We see another project like this five years [00:12:00] from now, or we think we’re gonna scale down and stay in the gigawatt range just because of the scale and the things that Sunzi went through. Joel Saxum: We have the choke chair, Sierra Madre project up in Wyoming that’s been chugging the Anschutz Corporation’s been pushing that thing for a long time. That’s, that’s along the same size of this unit. Um, and it’s the same thing. It’s, it’s kind of hinged on, I mean, there’s permitting issues, but it’s hinged on a transmission line being built. I think that one’s like 700. 50 miles of transmission. That’s supposed to be, it’s like Wyoming all the way down to Las Vegas. That project is sitting out there. Um, it’s hard to build something of that size in, like say the wind corridor, the Texas, Oklahoma, uh, you know, all the way up to the Dakotas, just simply because of the massive amount of landowners and public agencies involved in those things. It’s a bit easier when you get out West New Mexico. Um, I could see something like this happening possibly in Nevada. At some point in time to feed that California [00:13:00] side of things, right? But they’re doing massive solar farms out there. Same kind of concept. Um, I, I think that, um, I would love to see something like this happen, but to invest that kind of capital, you’ve got to have some kind of ITC credits going for you. Um, otherwise, I mean, $11 billion is, that’s a lot of money Allen Hall: since Zia will have PTC. Which is a huge driver about the economics for the entire project. Joel Saxum: Yeah. But you’re also seeing at the same time, just because of the volatility of what’s happening in the states wind wise, uh, there was a big article out today of someone who got wind that EDF may be selling its entire Allen Hall: US onshore renewable operation or US renewable operation. That was Wood Mac that. Put that out. And I’m still not sure that’s a hundred percent reliable, but they have been 50% for sale for a while. Everybody, I think everybody knew that. Joel Saxum: Yeah. I don’t know if it’s a hundred percent reliable as well. I would agree with you there. However, there’s, it’s the [00:14:00] same thought process of European company pulling outta the United States. That’s where a lot of the renewable energy capital is, or it has been fed to a lot of that capital comes from Canada and other places too. Right. But that’s where it’s been fed through. Um, but you’re starting to see some, some. Uh, purchasing some acquisitions, a little bit of selling and buying here and there. I don’t, I don’t think that there’s, uh, massive ones on the horizon. That’s just my opinion though. Allen Hall: Well, won’t the massive ones be offshore if we ever get back to it? Joel Saxum: Yeah, you would think so, right? But I, that’s gonna take a, uh, an administration change. I mean the, the, all that stuff you’d see out in California, like when we were originally seeing the leases come out and we were like, oh, great. More offshore opportunity. Ah, but it’s California, so it’ll be kind of tough. It probably won’t be till 20 32, 20, something like that. I don’t think we’ll see possibly California offshore wind until 2040 if we’re lucky. Allen Hall: Joel, what were the two wind turbines selected for Sunz? They were both new models, right? One from Renova and then the other one from [00:15:00] Vestas, Joel Saxum: so the Vestas was 242 V, 1 63, 4 0.5 megawatts machines, and the, and the GE Renova. Just so we get, make sure I get clarity on this. 674 of its three. They were 3.6, but they’re 3.61 50 fours. Allen Hall: Okay. So both turbine types are relatively new. New to the manufacturer. CZ has two new turbines styles on the site. Joel Saxum: Yeah, we were told that when they were originally like getting delivered, that they didn’t have type certificates yet. That’s how new they were. Allen Hall: So Yolanda. As Sania starts to turn on, what are things that they need to be aware of blade wise, Yolanda Padron: besides the lightning and the dust in New Mexico? It’s probably gonna tip them. I don’t know exactly what they’re counting with as far as leading edge protection goes. Allen Hall: Pattern usually doesn’t, uh, have a full service agreement. Joel, do you remember if that was an FSA? I don’t think so. Joel Saxum: I would say [00:16:00] because those are Vestas turbines on the one that, yes, Vestas really doesn’t sell a turbine without it. Knowing internally how big patterns engineering group are, I don’t know if they can completely take on the operations of a thousand more turbine, 900 more turbines overnight. Right? So I think that there is gonna be some OE EMM involvement in these things, uh, simply to be at that scale as well. I don’t know of anywhere else with a 1 54 install a GE 1 54. So the things that I wouldn’t looking out is the. It’s the brand new type stuff, right? Like do internal inspections when they’re on the ground. You don’t know what kind of condition these things are in, what, you know, what is the, you haven’t, nobody’s seen them. Like you’re the first ones to get to get your hands on these things. Yolanda Padron: Yeah, I think they’re definitely gonna have to go with some sort of consulting or something externally as far as what exactly they’re dealing with. I know, Rosemary, you’ve touched on it a lot, right about. [00:17:00] How the changing the blade types and changing the turbines every x amount of years is really not conducive to, to being able to repeat the same results. And if you’re having that for hundreds of turbines at a new site that you’ve already had so much time and money invested in creating, it’ll, it’s, it’s a big undertaking. Rosemary Barnes: It’s really interesting because. When you have such a large wind farm be, I’m assuming one of the first wind farms may be the first to get this new turbine types, then if there’s a serial defect, it’s gonna be very obvious. ’cause with smaller wind farms, one of the problems is that, uh, the numbers are too small to definitively say whether something is, um, serial or just random bad luck. Um, but when you get. So how many wind turbines is it? Joel Saxum: Almost a thousand total. It’s [00:18:00] 674 GE turbines and 242 Vesta turbines. Rosemary Barnes: You can do statistics on that kind of a population and this area. I mean, there’s lightning there, right? Like this is not an area where you’re not gonna see lightning. You know, in know the first couple of years, like there, there will be. Hundreds of turbines damaged by lightning in the, the first couple of years I would suggest, um, or, you know, maybe not. Maybe the LPS are so, so great that that doesn’t happen. But, you know, the typical standard of LPS would mean that, you know, even if you only see, say we see 10 strikes per turbine to year and you get a 2% damage rate, that is, you know, lots of, lots of individual instances of blade damage, even if everything works as it should according to certification. And if it doesn’t, if you see a 10% damage rate or something from those strikes, then you are going to know that, you know, the, um, LPS is not performing the way that the standard says that it should. It’s not like that’s a slam dunk for, um, [00:19:00] proving that the design was not sufficient or the certification wasn’t correct. It’s always really, really tricky. My recommendation would be to make sure that you are monitoring the lightning strikes, so you know exactly which turbine is struck and when, and then go inspect them and see the damage. Ideally, you’re also gonna be measuring some of the characteristics of the lightning as well. But you do that from day one. Then if there is a problem, then you’re at least gonna have enough information within the, um, you know, the serial defect liability period to be able to do something about it. Joel Saxum: Let me ask you a question on that, on just the, that lightning monitoring piece then. So this is something that’s just, it’s of course we do this all the time, but this is boiling up in the thing. How do you, how do you monitor for lightning on 916 turbines? Probably spread, spread across. 200 square miles. Rosemary Barnes: Well, there’s, there’s heaps of different ways that you can do it. Um, so I mean, you can do remote, remote lightning detection, which is [00:20:00] not good enough. Then there are a range of different technologies that you can install in the, um, turbines. Um, the most simple and longest standing solution was a lightning cart, which is installed on the down conductor at the blade route. That will just tell you the amplitude of the biggest strike that that turbine has ever seen when it’s red. I have literally never seen a case where the lightning card definitively or even provided useful evidence one way or another when there’s a, a dispute about lightning. So then you move on to solutions that, uh, um. Measuring they use, uh, Alan, you’re the electrical engineer, but they, they use the, the principle that when there’s a large current flowing, then it also induces a magnetic field. And then you can use that to make a, a, a change and read characteristics about it. So you can tell, um, well first of all, that that turbine was definitely struck. So there are simple systems that can do that quite cheaply. The OGs ping [00:21:00] sensor, does that really cost effectively? Um, and then OG Ping. Phoenix Contact and Polytech all have a different product. Um, all have their own products that can tell you the charge, the duration, the um, polarity or the, yeah, the, the, if it’s a positive or a negative strike, um, yeah, rise time, things like that. Um, about the strike, that’s probably, probably, you don’t. Need to go to that extent. Um, I would say just knowing definitively which turbine was struck and when is gonna give you what you need to be able to establish what kind of a problem or if you have a problem and what kind of a problem it is. Joel Saxum: I think that like an important one there too is like, uh, so I know that Vest is in a lot of their FSA contracts will say if it’s struck by lightning, we have 48 or 72 hours to inspect it. Right. And when you’re talking something of this scale, 916 turbines out there, like if there’s a lightning storm, like [00:22:00]we’ve been watching, we watch a lot of lightning storms come through, uh, certain wind farms that we’re working with. And you see 20, 30, 40 turbines get struck. Now if a storm comes through the middle of this wind farm, you’re gonna have 200 turbines get struck. How in the hell do you go out without ha Like you need to have something that can narrow you down to exactly the turbines that we’re struck. That being said that next morning or over the next two days, you need to deploy like 10 people in trucks to drive around and go look at these things. That’s gonna be a massive problem. Pattern has about 3000 turbines, I think in their portfolio, and they, so they’re, they’re familiar with lightning issues and how things happen, but something at this scale when it’s just like so peaky, right? ’cause a storm isn’t through every night, so you don’t have that need to go and inspect things. But when you do. That is gonna be a massive undertaking. ’cause you gotta get people out there to literally like, at a minimum, binocular these things to make sure there isn’t any damage on ’em. And it’s gonna be, there’s gonna be storms where hundreds of turbines get hit. Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, well [00:23:00] those three companies, those three products that I mentioned are aiming to get around that. I mean, it will depend how contracts are worded. I know in Australia it is not the norm to check for lightning ever. So if the contract says someone has to, you know, use human eyeballs to verify lightning damage or not, then. That’s, you know, that’s what has to happen. But all of these technologies do aim to offer a way that you wouldn’t have to inspect every single one. So Polytech is using, um, different lightning characteristics and then they’ve got an algorithm which they say will learn, um, which types of strike cause damage that could. Potentially progress to catastrophic damage. Um, and then the other one that is interesting is the eLog Ping solution because they’ve also got the, um, damage monitoring. That’s their original aim of their product, was that if there’s a damage on the blade tip, say it’s been punctured by lightning, it, it actually makes a noise. Like it makes a whistle and they listen out for that. So if you combine the [00:24:00]lightning detection and the, um, like blade. Tip structure monitoring from Ping, then you can get a good idea of which ones are damaged. Like if it’s damaged badly enough to fail, it is almost certainly gonna be making a noise that the ping can, um, detect Allen Hall: as wind energy professionals.

There’s a lot of great articles, and as we roll into December. You’ll have time to sit down and read them. You can download a free copy@pswin.com. And there’s a, a really interesting article about [00:25:00] offshore, and there’s a number of articles about offshore this quarter. Well, two Dutch companies developed a solution to really one of the industry’s most persistent headaches. And when it’s flange alignment. So when you’re trying to connect the transition piece to the mono paddle out in the water, it’s not really easy to do. Uh. So PES interviewed, uh, Ontech and Dutch heavy lift consultants to explain their flange alignment system known as FAS. And it started when a turbine installation needed a safer, faster way to try to align these two pieces. So if you can think about the amount of steel we’re talking about, these are really massive pieces you’re trying to line and put bolts in, not easy to do out in the ocean. Uh, so what this new device can do is it can align the flanges in a couple of minutes. It can reshape deformed, flanges and Joel, as you know, everything offshore can get dinged warped. That’s pretty easy to do, so you don’t want that when you have a, a heavily loaded, bolted joint, like those flanges to be [00:26:00] perfectly, uh, smooth to one another and, and tight. So these two companies, Amek and Dutch heavy Lifting consultants have come up with some pretty cool technology to speed up. Installations of wind turbines. Joel Saxum: Yeah, I would say anybody who’s interested in wind, offshore wind, any of that sort, and you have a little bit of an engineering mind or an engineering, uh, quirk in your mind. As, as I think we said earlier in the episode today, engineering nerds. Um, I would encourage you to go and look at some heavy lift operations offshore, whether it is offshore wind, offshore oil and gas, offshore construction of any time or any type even pipe lay operations and stuff. Just to take, just to take in the, the sheer scale. At how, uh, at how these things are being done and how difficult that would be to manage. Think about the just tons and tons of steel and, uh, trying to put these pieces together and these different things. And then remember that these vessels are thousands of dollars, sometimes a minute for how specialized they are. Right? So a lot of money gets put into [00:27:00] how the, like when we’re putting monopiles in that these transit transition pieces get put on. A lot of money has been spent on. The ver like technology to get, make sure they’re super, super tight tolerances on the verticality of those when they’re driving the actual piles in. And then you’re doing that offshore in a nasty environment, sometimes from a jack up vessel, sometimes not from a jack vessel, sometimes from a mor or like a, you know, a pseudo mor vessel on, uh. Dynamic positioning systems, and then you’re swinging these big things with cranes and all this stuff, like, it’s just a crazy amount of engineering eng engineering and operational knowledge that goes into making this stuff happen. And if you make one little mistake, all of a sudden that piece can be useless. Right? Like I’ve been a part of, of heavy offshore lifting for oil and gas where they’ve. It’s built a piece on shore, got it out to the vessel, went to go put it off sub sea in 2000 meters of water, lowered it all the way down there and it didn’t fit like you just burned [00:28:00] hundreds and hundreds and thousands of millions of dollars in time. So this kind of technology that Anima Tech is putting out in Dutch Heavy Lift consultants. This is the key to making sure that these offshore operations go well. So kudos to these guys for solve for seeing a problem and solving a problem with a real solution. Uh, instead of just kind of like dreaming things up, making something happen here. I’d like to see it. Allen Hall: Check out that article and many more in this quarter’s. PES Wind Magazine downloaded free copy@pswind.com. Well, Yolanda, as we know, everybody’s out with Sky Specs, uh, doing blade inspections, and so many turbines have issues this year. A lot of hail damage, a lot of lightning damage and some serial defects from what I can tell. Uh, we’re, we’re getting to that crazy season where we’re trying to get ready for next year and prioritize. This is the time to call C-I-C-N-D-T and actually take a deep hard look at some of this damage, particularly at the blade root area. We’ve seen a lot more of that where, [00:29:00] uh, there’s been failures of some blades at the root where the bolt connection is. So you’re gonna have to get some NDT done. Boy, oh boy, you better get C-I-C-N-D-T booked up or get them on the phone because they’re getting really busy. Yolanda Padron: Yeah, you definitely need to schedule something. Make sure that you know at least where you stand, right? Be because imagine going into try to fix something and just have a hammer and then close your eyes and then see what you can fix. That way, like sometimes it feels like when you’re in operations, if you don’t have the proper. The proper inspections done, which sometimes there’s, there’s not enough budget for, or appetite or knowledge, um, in some of these projects to have early on. You come in and just, you, you see the end result of failure modes and you might see something that’s really, really expensive to fix now. Or you might think of, oh, this problem happened at X, Y, Z. [00:30:00] Site, so it’ll probably happen here. That’s not necessarily the case. So getting someone like NDT to be able to come in and actually tell you this is what’s going on in your site, and these are the potential failure modes that you’re going to see based on what you’re getting and this is what will probably happen, or this is what is happening over time in your site, is a lot more indicative to be able to solve those problems faster and way. More way, in a way less expensive manner than if you were to go in and just try to fix everything reactively. You know, if you have half a bond line missing. Then later you, your blade breaks. It’s like, well, I mean, you, you could, you could have seen it, you could have prevented it. You could have saved that blade and saved yourself millions and millions of dollars and, and so much more money in downtime. Joel Saxum: Yeah. The first time I ran into Jeremy Hess and the C-A-C-N-D team was actually on an insurance project where it was Yolanda, like you said, like [00:31:00] they let it go. The, the operator and the OEM let it go way too long, and all of a sudden they had a, like wind farm wide shutdown costing them millions in production. Uh, to find these, these issues that, uh, could have been found in a different manner when you talk to the team over there. Um, why we like to recommend them from the podcast is Jeremy has an answer for everything. He’s been around the world. He’s worked in multiple industries, aerospace, race, cars, sailboats, you name it. Um, he’s been a client to almost everybody, you know, in the wind industry, all the OEMs, right? So he knows the, the issues. He has the right tool sets. To dive into them. You, you may not know, not, you don’t need to be an NDT expert to be able to have a conversation because he will coach you through, okay, here you have this problem. Alright, this is how we would look at it. This is how we would solve it. Here’s how you would monitor for it, and then this is how you would, you know, possibly fix it. Or this is what the, the solution looks like. Um, because I think that’s one of the [00:32:00] hurdles to the industry with NDT projects is people just don’t. Know what’s available, what’s out there, what they can see, what they, you know, the issues that they might be able to uncover, like you said, Yolanda. So, um, we encourage, um, anybody that says, Hey, do you know anybody in NDT? Yeah, it’s Jeremy Hanks and the C-I-C-N-D-T team. Call ’em up. They’ve got the solutions, they’ll help you out.

De airco is booming. In 2019 had nog geen drie procent van alle Nederlandse huizen een airco, inmiddels hangen er al meer dan twee miljoen! Maar nog lang niet iedere aircobezitter weet dat hij met die airco in de winter flink wat geld kan besparen, stelt energieleverancier Vattenfall. Presentator Hans van der Steeg gaat hierover in gesprek met: * Wouter Wolfswinkel, innovatiemanager bij Vattenfall * Simone Tresoor, Milieucentraal

Im Juli und August völlig überfüllt. Im Winter tot. Geht diese Schlagzeile in Sachen Tourismus auf Usedom? Sicher nicht. Das Reiseradio wirft gerne den zweiten Blick und spricht mit Menschen, die das wissen.   Heringsdorf im Sommer – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Ausgangslage Schlagzeilen sind gerne etwas „knallig“. Deshalb erreichen sie auch das, was sich ihr Erfinder dabei gedacht hat. Des Öfteren steckt zwar ein Quäntchen Wahrheit drin, die ganz große „Wahrheit“ liefern sie jedoch nicht. Grund genug nachzufragen, wenn Touristiker von Belebung der Nebensaison und von Besucherlenkung reden. Michael Steuer, Geschäftsführer der Usedom Tourismus GmbH – Foto: Usedom Tourismus GmbH Nachgefragt habe ich bei Usedom-Tourismus, als ich von Belebung der Insel in besucherschwachen Zeiten hörte. Die ersten Antworten habe ich von Michael Steuer bekommen. Er ist Geschäftsführer der Usedom Tourismus GmbH. Ja, aber… Wie fast immer, ist an der Sache was dran, aber selbstredend ist es nicht die komplette Darstellung eines Problems und der angestrebten Lösungen. In diesem Podcast reden wir über Ankunfts- und Abreisestaus. Das ist ein Problem aufgrund der schwierigen Verkehrssituation, wenn „Alle“ nach Usedom wollen. Sie konzentriert sich auf die Hauptsaison und natürlich auf Feiertage wie Ostern, Pfingsten und die berühmten Brückentage. Auto Südliche Inselzufahrt: Brücke Zecherin – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Usedom ist eine Insel und hatte bisher nur zwei Zufahrten fürs Auto. Das sind die Brücken in Wolgast und Zechlin. Ein Nadelöhr, das sich im Anschluss auf den schmalen Bundestraßen (B 110 und B 111) eher noch verstärkt. Das mag Urlauber abschrecken. Meist ist es jedoch so, dass sich die Menschen, wie bei anderen Zielen, schlechtgelaunt durch den Stau durcharbeiten. Abhilfe schaffen, benötigt nicht nur Ideen, sondern kostet auch Zeit. Michael Steuer berichtet von den teils geplanten, teils im Bau befindlichen und gerade fertiggestellten Alternativen. Günstig Laden vor der Insel : Station in Anklam – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Zusätzlich ist Usedom bisher noch nicht im Elektrozeitalter angekommen. Lediglich Zwei Schnell-Ladestationen mit je 2 Säulen habe ich ausmachen können (Koserow, Kaufhaus Stolz & Vattenfall, Heringsdorf). Viele Hotels besitzen inzwischen Wechselstrom-Ladesäulen mit 11 bzw. 22 KW Ladefähigkeit. Das dauert dann gerne mal 6 Stunden bis der Akku wieder voll ist. Hier gibt es also noch Nachholbedarf. Bahn Usedomer Bäderbahn in Wolgast – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Früher, ja früher (lang ist's her) gab es mal eine direkte Bahnstrecke von Berlin aus. Die Überreste der Bahnstrecke kann man heute noch am Hafen in Karnin sehen. Es ist der Mittelteil der Bahnbrücke, die Ende April 1945 unnötigerweise von der Deutschen Wehrmacht gesprengt worden war. Bis dahin gelangte man auf direktem Weg in zweieinhalb Stunden nach Berlin. Rest der Karniner Hubbrücke: Gesprengt 1945 – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wie es mit einer schnelleren Bahnverbindung nach Usedom aussieht, steht derzeit in den Sternen. Die Touristiker haben Ideen, erzählt Michael Steuer „off the records“, aber das müsse ja noch nichts heißen. Flugzeug Ferienflug-Winterschlaf: Flughafen Heringsdorf – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Ich gebe es nicht gerne zu, aber wer in Süddeutschland lebt, hat bis nach Usedom per Auto um die 1.000 Kilometer und damit gerne mal 10-12 Stunden Fahrzeit vor sich. Da ist es sicher nicht verkehrt, dass es inzwischen einmal pro Woche (immer samstags) von Mai bis Oktober Flugverbindungen zum „Airport Heringsdorf” gibt (Friedrichshafen – Heringsdorf z.B. 90 Minuten). Ich wollte wissen, was da ging, was künftig geht und ob sich das denn lohnt. In der letzten Saison gab es Verbindungen aus Kassel, Mannheim, Friedrichshafen, Luxemburg, Frankfurt und Zürich. Derzeit ist Winterschlaf in HDF, bis die Saison wieder beginnt. Nebensaison beleben Hauptargument für Usedom, so Michael Steuer, sei die Natur und die sei immer da. An den Strand (wenn auch ohne Baden) könne man auch im November (stimmt und ausprobiert). Das Achterland böte viele Wanderwege und es gäbe auch eine große Zahl von Museen, die geöffnet sind. (stimmt auch und getestet im Historisch-Technischen Museum Peenemünde und im DDR Museum in Dargen). Ja, wetterbedingt gibt es einige Angebote (Beispiel Schiffchen fahren) im Winter nicht. Das historische Kraftwerk Peenemünde – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Usedom habe die höchste Dichte an Wellnessangeboten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Kulturelle Angebote von Musik über Theater bis zu Ausstellungen gäbe es ebenfalls reichlich. Ferienwohnungen würden immer mehr mit der eigenen Sauna oder einem Kamin ausgestattet. Gastronomische Angebote gäbe es auch überall. Gerade Hotels seien da gute Anlaufpunkte. In den größeren Orten, wie den Kaiserbädern (Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, Bansin) oder Zinnowitz warte ein vielfältiges Angebot. Preisbewusste Angebote Ein wichtiges Argument für die Nebensaison seien auch die Preise für Hotels und Ferienwohnungen. Welche Abschläge kalkuliert werden können, habe ich mir im Podcast erzählen lassen. So viel nur: Das lohnt sich, auch für Familien oder Großeltern mit Enkeln. Wer schon immer mal davon träumte in einem 5-Sterne Hotel abzusteigen, wird eventuell von den Preisen überrascht sein. Travel in Style: 5-Sterne Hotel Ahlbecker Hof – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Hauptsaison mitten in der Nebensaison Wie an vielen Orten, kommt rund um Weihnachten wieder Leben auf. Wer spontan noch eine Unterkunft suche, könne Weihnachten 25 sogar noch Glück haben. Wer allerdings den Jahreswechsel auf Usedom verbringen möchte, dürfte es schwer haben. Bis Januar: Inselglitzern, hier am Kölpinsee – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Der Test folgt Besuchenswert: Die neue Seebrücke in Koserow – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Natürlich war ich nicht auf der Insel, um nur ein einziges Gespräch zu führen. Wenn Nebensaison, dann gleich eine knappe Woche im November. Die Details folgen hier in einem Folge-Podcast noch vor Weihnachten. Seid gespannt. Neben vielen besuchten Angeboten, wird es auch einige Übernachtungstipps (Überraschungen inklusive) geben. Vorweg schon mal: Ich habe weniger erwartet und mehr bekommen.

Germany is experiencing a battery blitz. The market is expected to triple from 2GW to 6GW in less than two years. To give a bit of context, Zach Williams from Modo Energy, gives us the big picture and fundamentals of the German battery market.  Legacy developers have not yet been able to catch that wave, but newcomers have. We bring on one those new pioneers, Philipp Man, CEO of Terralayr.  In less than three years, Philipp has managed to set up a company which operates or currently builds 150MW of batteries in Germany; more importantly he has managed to sign some of the first tolling agreements with heavyweights such as Vattenfall and RWE. His approach combines medium size batteries (10-30MW) rather than gigantic ones.  The Vattenfall-Terralayr deal is a pioneering seven-year, 55 MW multi-asset capacity tolling agreement for a decentralized fleet of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Germany, announced in May 2025. Described as an industry-first "virtual battery tolling structure," it marks a significant shift from traditional single-asset tolling models, enabling scalable and flexible energy storage solutions without significant capital investment from Vattenfall.  With Philipp, we dissect his lightspeed approach in a seemingly bureaucratic environment, we analyse how he has been to put assets on the ground so fast, and his approach to commercialisation of flexibility combining hard assets and a digital layer.  We discuss the price formation of tolling agreements, the “tranching” of capacity and how he sees the future. Is Terralayr a tech company? Is it an infrastructure play? Well, a bit of both.

Smolk i glädjebägaren är dock att Konstverket (den varligt ombyggda gamla panncentralen på Granängsvägen) där många konstnärer har sina ateljéer måste utrymmas den 30 april 2026. Ägaren Vattenfall i Uppsala har valt att inte förlänga kontraktet med Konstrundan.

LKAB:s vd Jan Moström om vad som ska hända med Kiruna när gruvan tar allt mer mark i anspråk, och om det omdebatterade Hybrit-projektet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I slutet av augusti meddelade LKAB att ytterligare 6000 människor måste flytta från sina hem på grund av sprickor i berget under stan som orsakats av gruvbrytningen. Vilket är ditt budskap till de människor som påverkas nu? ”Tyvärr är det ju så att en förutsättning för vår gruvverksamhet är att vi faktiskt får tillgång till mark. Och tyvärr, den mark som vi måste ha till Kirunagruvan den går in under samhället, den är under staden”, säger Jan Moström, LKAB:s vd.”Jag skulle nog säga att absolut överväldigande majoritet i Kiruna är väl medveten om den situationen. Men givetvis är det ju så att när det händer, och dessutom den storlek, att det påverkar människor väldigt, väldigt mycket.”Jan Moström hoppas samtidigt att de här områdena inte är de sista som LKAB tar i anspråk.”För att vi ska fortsätta att utveckla och vara ledande leverantör av högkvalitativ järnmalm till Europa så måste vi fortsätta att ta mark i anspråk. När vi slutar ta mark i anspråk ser vi ett nedläggningsscenario för Kirunagruvan, och det hoppas jag är väldigt långt i framtiden. För, återigen, Kiruna stad och Kirunagruvan kommer under överskådlig tid att leva i symbios. En förutsättning för att Kiruna ska utvecklas på ett positivt sätt, det är att vi fortsätter att utveckla Kirunagruvan. Det kommer att betyda uppoffringar från båda parter för att möjliggöra att vi kan utveckla båda bitarna”, säger Jan Moström. Hur ska ni få Kirunabornas acceptans för att det här är rimligt?”Jag är helt övertygad om att vi har en väldigt stor acceptans i Kiruna för att genomföra den här samhällsomvandlingen. De som jobbar direkt åt oss eller våra entreprenörer är så väl medvetna om att en förutsättning för att Kirunagruvan ska fortsätta att producera är att vi gör detta. Man kan väl kalla det att av två onda ting så är det mindre onda att göra det här”, säger Jan Moström. ”Nästan all mark runt Kiruna är skyddad av ett eller annat intresse, det betyder att det är väldigt många målkonflikter här. Det är de målkonflikterna som det är viktigt att de tydliggörs, och att de på något sätt beslutas: Vilket ändamål är viktigast och höst prioriterat? Det är väl egentligen den fråga som staten äger, att säga, i de här målkonflikterna, hur ska de lösas ut", säger Jan Moström.Hittills har LKAB inte fått några besked från regeringen."Det svar vi har fått än så länge är att det är under bearbetning. hur det här ska gå till.”När måste ni ha ett besked? "Jag kan inte säga ett direkt datum, men ju mer vi skjuter på det desto mer tidsansträngt blir det", säger Jan Moström. Även runt Per Geijer-fyndigheten i Kiruna finns det målkonflikter och riksintressen som står emot varandra, det gäller inte minst rennäringen. ”Det vi har beskrivit är att från vår horisont ser vi att det måste finnas möjligheter att lösa det här på ett eller annat sätt. Sen hur det här ska gå till, det får vi ta i en dialog. med samebyn eller de som äger målkonflikten att se hur ska det här praktiskt lösas. Men vår utgångsinställning är att det här går att lösa. Kanske kan Gabna sameby inte göra exakt som de har gjort tidigare men med vissa modifikationer så borde det gå”, säger Jan Moström.Fossilfritt stålLKAB håller tillsammans med Vattenfall och SSAB, genom bolaget Hybrit, på att utveckla teknik för att använda fossilfri vätgas istället för kol och koks i bearbetningen av järnmalm, och produktionen av stål. Stålindustrins stora koldioxidtutsläpp skulle då försvinna på sikt. Men LKAB har dragit ner på takten i projektet. ”Jag är fortfarande väldigt övertygad om att ska vi vara i närheten av att klara av vår klimatpåverkan så är det här vägen framåt. Vi har fortsatt att jobba med det här för att få fram ett konkurrenskraftigt järn”, säger Jan Moström.”Att vi kommer att transformera stålindustrin i Europa det tror jag alla är väl överens om. En konsekvens av det kommer att bli att få eller inga investeringar kommer att göras i masugnar i Europa. Det är 70 procent av vår marknad. Ska vi kunna leverera till dem måste vi leverera järn, inte järnmalm. Det är därför vi fortsätter att driva den här utvecklingen. Vi vill säkerställa att det är ekonomiskt lönsamt att göra det här med ett minimum av risker”, säger Jan Moström.Samtidigt finns det starka politiska krafter i Europa som verkar vilja backa från det här (...) Litar du på att fattade beslut inom EU :s gröna industripolitik gäller? ”Man kan nog konstatera att politiska beslut snabbt kan ändras. Det är därför vi jobbar mer med riskminimering. I vilka områden har vi en mindre risk och en större risk. Det är en komplex kalkyl”, säger Jan Moström.

Offshore wind currently produces around 6% of all electricity fed into Germany's public grid, but by 2045, that figure will need to be quadrupled. It's a heady but achievable challenge. What started out 15 years ago as a couple of experimental facilities is now a major pillar of Germany's conversion to renewable energy. We look back and ahead at the biggest changes, challenges, and innovations – and explore how business opportunities are evolving in this dynamic sector. Our guests: Simon Hagemann is Head of Pipeline Development at Swedish utility Vattenfall, the company behind Germanys first offshore wind farm. Markus Nölke is Managing Director of WAB, a nationwide network for the wind energy sector, representing around 250 companies and research institutes across the wind, maritime, and emerging hydrogen industries.

North Carolina. I have Phil Totaro in California, Joel Saxum's back in Texas, and Rosemary Barnes is here from the great country of Australia where Joel and Rosemary, along with Matthew Stead, will be rolling along the countryside visiting with. Wind turbine operators here soon, right Speaker 3: Yeah, so the, the 11th through the 14th, uh, we're gonna be jumping down to Melbourne because of course that's, that's wind central for operators and, uh, ISPs in Australia. And we're gonna be talking about all kinds of stuff with, uh, anybody that listen to us talk. So if you're listening here, uh, and you're in [00:01:00] Australia, connect up, uh, joel.saxo at uh, wg lightning.com. Uh, we'll get some meetings set 'cause we want to, we want to hear what issues are happening down there, right? What can we help with? What can we solve? Of course, Alan and I on the lightning side here, Rosemary is an independent expert engineer for you name it, in turbines. Uh, and our friend Matthew Stat over at iLogic Ping in the CMS space. And amongst the three of us, we also have a huge network, right? So if we're, if we're, if we getting into conversation, getting a chance to chat, tell us what. You got for problems and we'll help you solve 'em. So we'll be down there the 11th or the 14th of August. Uh, reach out.  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a lot happening in Australia at the minute. It's starting to come out a winter, getting into blade repair season that is, uh, about to fire up in Australia. A lot going on around the world. And today is Wednesday when we're recording. And this is the day where Vattenfall released their Samuel L. Jackson. Add, it's about a minute long [00:02:00] and you see Samuel L out on the shoreline with a bag of what? Seaweed chips. Joel, is that what they are? Or crackers of some sort?  Speaker 3: Yeah, a hundred percent. I gotta be, I'll be a little bit, little honest with you. I had some of those, not the same ones, not the Vattenfall ones, but I had some the other day just to try 'em out. They're not my flavor. I'm gonna be honest with you. Don't they just taste like sea salt? They taste like seaweed.  Speaker 2: That's what it is.  Speaker 3: I know, but they're, they're not that awesome.  Speaker 2: But these, uh, crackers were the output of the seaweed and all the things growing around the offshore wind turbines. I, I assume it's just seaweed, right, Joel? It's not anything else but seaweed. There's no fish involved in that. It's kelp. But see, like kelp, so  Speaker 3: like offshore kelp farming is a complete industry. Right. It's just like offshore fish farming. They put these lines out, it grows on the lines, and then they pull it in and they harvest it. This is a regular thing, however, having infrastructure out in the water, IE turbine foundations helps with all of these things. It's structure there that protects 'em from, um,

In deze aflevering gaan we met Ellie Lust op zoek naar de essentie van Pride: niet alleen een feest, maar ook een herinnering aan wat er op het spel staat. Waarom blijft die zichtbaarheid noodzakelijk? En waarom is het belangrijk dat de politie ook zichtbaar aanwezig is bij de Pride? En is er ooit een moment dat we het niet meer gaan vieren?Ellie Lust houdt een pleidooi om het niet meer over acceptatie te hebben, inclusiviteit voor diversiteit te plaatsen, ze deelt hoe het vroeger thuis ging en roept de straight allies naast degene te staan die het nodig heeft. Ze deelt haar zorgen, maar ook haar visie: wat er moet gebeuren om weer vooruit te komen, richting een land waar gelijkheid niet afhangt van de dag op de kalender, of de plek waar je werkt, woont of liefhebt.

We zijn aan de grond genageld van de vele tips voor het NIET knagen aan je nagelriemen en al helemaal NIET aan die van je tenen. Gwen stond met een half been in een Netflix-serie, maar helaas verliep dit net even iets anders. Net zoals het item waar het over ging trouwens… Voor Ger gaat het deze week over vliegtuigschaamte, of ja, het gebrek aan schaamte in het vliegtuig. Als laatste: hoe zorg je ervoor dat je je schoonmoeder niet uit het raam gooit? Klaar voor een aflevering boordevol handige do’s and don’ts én misschien wel de gênantste Spill the Tea aller tijden?

In this week's episode of Energy Transition Today, we start with the most important energy transition news of the week, nay the year, actor Samuel L Jackson's partnership with Vattenfall for seaweed crisps.We move on to financing updates over the past seven days, starting with an exclusive on Elements Green's debt package for its 360MW battery project in the UK, Sonnedix's €2 billion debt consolidation, DESNZ's price caps for renewable technologies under the upcoming AR7 auction and planning consent for, what is set to be, UK's first floating offshore wind farm.For the deeper dives, we touch on the ongoing tensions between the board of Gore Street Storage Fund and a couple of its investors as well as well as Smart Pension UK's investment in Octopus' UK renewables portfolio.We end on a breakdown of the European Commission's proposed budget for 2028-2034 and the European Union's LNG deal with the US.Send us a textReach out to us at: podcasts@inspiratia.comFind all of our latest news and analysis by subscribing to inspiratiaListen to all our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other providers.

Milgrams experiment på 60-talet testade människors vilja att ge en "elev" elstötar ända till döds när de var under handledning av en "auktoritet". Målet var att bevisa tyskarnas unika ondska genom att först skaffa grunddata på amerikaner. Det visade sig att i stort sett alla amerikanska kandidater var villiga att tillfoga elstötar på tortyrnivå och 65 procent ända till döds. Syftet att testa tyskar övergavs. Det finns många exempel i vårt samhälle på vad medmänniskor, politiker och byråkrater är villiga att utsätta sina medmänniskor för med stöd av experter, lag, och auktoritet. Vi diskuterar några exempel inklusive skolplikt, dagis och covid-hanteringen.Det politiska jippot i Almedalen analyseras med avseende på teman.

Två stora parallella satsningar i norra Sverige vill revolutionera stålindustrin. Men det finns hinder på vägen. President Trump har nyligen infört nya höga ståltullar och satsningarna brottas med förseningar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Stålrevolution i NorrlandStålindustrin är en av de allra största utsläpparna av koldioxid och sen några år tillbaka pågår en mindre revolution inom området. Målet är att producera stål med så litet fossilt utsläpp som möjligt och Sverige står i blickfånget i omställningen.Två projekt i varsin fil på samma vägJust nu håller uppstickaren Stegra på att bygga ett nytt stålverk och en ny vätgasanläggning i Boden. Finansmannen Harald Mix, som också låg bakom Northvolt, är en av grundarna. Samtidigt tuffar Hybrit på. Samarbetet mellan statliga gruvbolaget LKAB, statliga Vattenfall och stålbolaget SSAB - som delvis också har statligt ägande genom LKAB och finska staten. Men båda projekten brottas med olika utmaningar och frågan är vem som kommer att först komma i mål - eller vem som vill komma först?Nya ståltullar Nyligen införde president Trump tullar på 50 procent för allt stål som USA importerar från EU och andra länder. Frågan är hur de svenska satsningarna påverkas av de höga tullarna och hur risken ser ut för att stål från andra länder nu kommer flöda in i Europa och dumpa priserna?Programledare:Erika MårtenssonProducent:Olof WijnbladhMedverkande och röster i programmet:Jens Kärrman, journalist Dagens IndustriGert Nilson, teknisk direktör JernkontoretJan Moström, vd LKABNiklas Johansson, kommunikationsdirektör LKABHenrik Henriksson, vd StegraHarald Mix, finansmanMaria Perhard, ScaniaAssia Gaouar, riskkapitalfonden DemeterStefan Löfven, fd statsminister (s)ekonomiekotextra@sverigesradio.se

Allen Hall covers the appointment of Catrin Jung as Vattenfall's new head of wind division, the Netherlands reaching 20% renewable energy in 2024, Quebec's $1.1 billion funding for a major wind project, and France commissioning its first floating wind farm.

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Good news from the offshore wind industry today. Vattenfall has named a new leader for its wind business division. Catrin Jung will take over as Head of Business Area Wind starting July first. Jung currently leads the company's offshore wind operations. She replaces Helene Bistrom, who is leaving the company. Jung joined Vattenfall in two thousand two. She has managed some of the company's largest investments in recent years. The wind division handles both offshore and onshore wind projects. It also manages large solar and battery projects. Jung says staying focused on fossil freedom is more important than ever in these uncertain times. The Netherlands reached a major renewable energy milestone last year. Renewable energy made up nearly twenty percent of the country's total energy use in twenty twenty four. That's up from seventeen point four percent in twenty twenty three. Statistics Netherlands released the preliminary data. The increase comes mainly from new offshore wind turbines and more biodiesel use in transportation. The overall renewable energy consumption reached three hundred fifty eight petajoules. That's a fifteen percent increase from twenty twenty three. Biomass remained the largest renewable source. Wind came second, followed by solar power. Renewables were mostly used for electricity at sixty percent. Heat and cooling accounted for twenty eight percent. Transport fuels made up twelve percent. The share of renewables has more than doubled compared to five years ago. A major wind energy project in Quebec has secured its funding. Invenergy and a consortium of 209 municipalities and territories in Eastern Quebec announced the closing of one point one billion dollars Canadian in financing. The money will fund the PPAW 1 Wind Energy Centre. The work will create three hundred fifty jobs during construction. Construction will happen throughout twenty twenty five and twenty twentysix. Commercial operation is expected in late twenty twenty six. Once operational, the project will add three hundred fifty megawatts to the local grid. France has achieved a renewable energy first. EDF Renewables has fully commissioned the country's first floating wind farm. The Provence Grand Large wind farm has a power capacity of twenty five megawatts. The farm features three floating wind turbines installed seventeen kilometers off the France's Mediterranean coast This is the first floating wind farm in France and across the entire Mediterranean basin. The project uses unique anchoring technology. Siemens Gamesa built the turbines. They're installed on floats with tight anchor lines. The technology was inspired by systems used to stabilize oil platforms. SBM Offshore and IFP Energies Nouvelles developed this technology. It's suitable for deep sea areas and provides excellent float stability. Bernard Fontana, Chairman and CEO of EDF, says the project helps diversify renewable energy sources. He calls it an important project for France's energy sovereignty. The experience will help with construction of EDF's second floating wind farm, Mediterranee Grand Large. EDF was awarded that contract in December twenty twenty four.

Det här är bara utvecklingen, den får vi vika oss för! Så beskriver statsvetaren Evert Vedung den inställning som gjorde att Sverige på kort tid lyckades skapa ett överskott av elektricitet, med ett högt pris för naturen och samerna. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Programmet sändes första gången 20220830.Sveriges elhistoria är den om tidig och snabb utbyggnad av olika energislag som kunde producera el till låga priser. Om innovationer, framsynthet och långsiktighet, men också om naturvärden som offrades i moderniseringens namn. Har vi idag något att lära av den historien, när nu elproduktionen i landet behöver öka kraftigt och snabbt, för att vi ska nå klimatmålen och samtidigt ha en ekonomi i tillväxt?I tre program besöker Vetenskapsradion några olika elhistoriska platser i Sverige. I denna första del bland annat Horndal i Dalarna, som var den sydliga slutpunkten för den första kraftledningen mellan norra och södra Sverige, vilken togs i drift 1936. Horndal är än idag en stor knutpunkt för kraftledningar och inte minst därför har Google planer på att bygga ett gigantiskt datacenter där, som kommer att sluka oerhörda mängder el.Vi får också höra historien om hur det spektakulära Stora Sjöfallet i Lappland offrades för vattenkraften.Medverkande: Magnus Carlson, förvaltare Vattenfall; Kerstin Enflo, ekonomhistoriker Lunds Universitet; Lasse Wallbing, kraftverksveteran och aktiv i Porjus arkivkommitté; Lars-Erik Lindström på museet i Krångede; Evert Vedung, professor emeritus i statsvetenskap på Uppsala Universitet; Börje Forslund, lokalhistoriker från Avesta samt Bengt Söderkvist, boende i Horndal.Reporter: Mats Carlsson-LénartProducent: Björn Gunérbjorn.guner@sr.se

Call it the holy grail: producing steel without emitting greenhouse gases. In Sweden, three companies – SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall – have been working on it for years under the name HYBRITE. With a pilot plant in operation, the proof of concept has been delivered. Is the production of so-called ‘green steel' ready for scale-up? And if not, what challenges remain? To answer these questions, I'm joined by Mikael Nordlander, Director of Partnerships at Vattenfall and one of the brains behind HYBRITE.

I Forsmarksområdet i Uppland finns tre kärnkraftsreaktorer och där finns också Sveriges kanske tätaste population av havsörn. Flera faktorer tycks gynna örnarna. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Området kring kärnkraftsreaktorerna och den anläggning som ska förvara avfallet från hela det svenska kärnkraftsprogrammet i Forsmark hanteras och regleras på särskilda sätt och det verkar finnas flera faktorer i den här storskaliga satsningen på kärnkraft som har gynnat havsörnarna.Innan kärnkraftverket byggdes i början på 1970-talet minskade antalet fritidsboende i området när Vattenfall köpte upp och rev många sommarstugor. Det rörliga friluftslivet har också begränsats eftersom folk inte får röra sig hursomhelst i området av säkerhetsskäl. Det har gynnat havsörnarna som är känsliga för mänsklig störning.Eftersom kärnkraftverket har släppt ut varmvatten i kustvattnet har fiskar kunnat växa sig större och det isfria vattnet har förbättrat övervintringsmöjligheterna för sjöfågel, vilket sammantaget har gynnat födotillgången för havsörnen.Men där är inte bara gott om havsörn. Det övriga fågellivet och djurlivet är också mycket rikt, enligt forskning som har följt naturens utveckling i Forsmarksområdet i flera decennier.Reporter: Gustaf Klaringustaf.klarin@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

Speaker: [00:00:00] You are listening to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast brought to you by build turbines.com. Learn, train, and be a part of the Clean Energy Revolution. Visit build turbines.com today. Now here's your hosts, Allen Hall, Joel Saxum, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes. Allen Hall: If you checked your mailbox or checked online, the new PES Wind magazine is out and it is full of great content this quarter. There's a very interesting article because we've been talking a lot about offshore wind and some of the problems with offshore wind as one of them is corrosion. Just betw between us engineers, it comes up quite a bit. Like, why are we making things outta steel that you don't need to make outta steel, why you're not making them out of plastic? And that's what, uh, the people at, uh, Nylacast engineer products are doing, um, on some hang off clamps, Joel, uh, which are traditionally really cheap clamps that are made outta steel and rust like [00:01:00] crazy. Joel Saxum: Yeah. You know, from my oil and gas offshore background, that was one of the things that was always a pain in the butt. IIRM contracts, as they call 'em, offshore inspection, repair, and maintenance. There's so much focus on coatings, paint coatings, paint coatings, and it's a special coating, and it's this, and you can only apply it during this, and everything has to be painted. And if you can't allow rust to start anywhere on an offshore facility, it's in a high corrosion environment, right? You have salt water, salt spray temperatures, it's always kind of wet. It's a marine environment. And so erosion moves very fast, right? So in the, in the oil and gas world, they started creating some things out of like HDPE, which is high density, polyethylene, plastic. Um, it's even so dense. You can mill it. It's really cool stuff. But that's what, um, the PO the kind of Nylacast engineered products is working with some of these plastic products to replace some of those components in offshore wind turbines that are a pain in the butt to maintain. So when we talk about these hang off clamps. [00:02:00] They grab the cables and other things and they, and they hold them in place in the turbine as need be. If those are made outta steel and have a coating on 'em, and you get a little bit of vibration and that coating starts to wear away or starts to get a little bit of rust, you've got a huge problem. You've gotta take the cables out, you gotta take the things off, you've gotta replace 'em. You gotta either replace them or you gotta grind on 'em and repaint them. It is a nightmare. So they're, what they're doing with these, um, uh, hang off clamps that are, you know, basically plastic instead of metallic. Or a plastic type instead of metallic is there, they're removing that need for IRM contracts in the future. Allen Hall: I think it's great. It makes a ton of sense. And I'm surprised you haven't seen more of this because, uh, nylon and and derivatives in nylon are easily recyclable. It does fit all the things that wind energy is looking for. It doesn't. Rust recyclable, easy, lightweight, simple. We need to be moving this direction. So if you haven't checked out PES Wind, you go to PS wind.

In this episode, we speak with Lena Wennberg, Chief Sustainable Development Officer, and Therese Forsström, Head of Environmental Department at Swedavia, which owns and operates 10 airports across Sweden, connecting the country both internally and with the rest of the world.Wennberg and Forsström discuss:Swedavia's achievement of fossil-free operations in 2020 in their own airport operations, backed by committed leadership that views sustainability as a “license to operate.”Their ambitious goal to enable fossil-free domestic flights in Sweden by 2030, primarily through sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with plans to reach 10% SAF usage.Swedavia's incentive program that covers 50% of the premium cost for airlines refuelling with SAF, plus their procurement of SAF for their own business travel for the last nine years.The airport's preparations for future technologies, including charging infrastructure for electric aircraft at smaller airports and collaboration with Airbus on hydrogen infrastructure.The balancing of sustainability with operational needs in a country where air travel is essential due to the vast geography.As industry leaders working towards fossil-free aviation since long before it became mainstream, Swedavia offers a compelling example of how airports can transform environmental commitments into tangible action while maintaining operational excellence.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Christina Cassotis, CEO of Pittsburgh International Airport, who shares her ambitious vision for transforming the airport into a sustainable aviation hub.

I'm your host, Allen Hall, along with my co host, Joel Saxum. Today, I'm delighted to welcome Birgit Junker, a true pioneer in wind energy blade technology and the co founder of the Global Blade Group. This organization has become the premier forum for the wind turbine blade experts to collaborate, share knowledge, and drive innovation in areas like structural design, Lightning protection and blade inspection technologies. Welcome to Uptime Spotlight. Shining light on wind energy's brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Birgit, welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast Spotlight. Birgit Junker: Thank you very much and thanks for having me. Allen Hall: I want to start off by looking back a little bit into 2013. What were some of the challenges that when farm owners were facing with Blade technology and maintenance that led you to create the global Blade group? Birgit Junker: To start with Rege from Vattenfall and I, we were relatively new on the owner operator side. And we both found that when we were speaking to our colleagues, they, their eyes just glazed over every single time we said Blade. Cause nobody knew anything about blade. When I was hired at Eon I came from from Siemens. I was hired at Eon. I was told that they didn't have blade issues. So I should expect to work about 80%, 75 percent on blades. And the rest of the time I should be spending on a drivetrain. 10 years later, when I left, there were 10 blade people. And I never ever had to look at a drivetrain. That was the attitude then. Blades were not a problem. We didn't have blade problems. Blades were like that black box that you had. You just went out there and counted that they were all there. And you listened just to make sure that there wasn't anything strange going on. And about, you 99. 9 percent of the time, nothing happened. There was nothing wrong. We even had contracts that said that blades were maintenance free. But then Reg and I started on the owner operator side. We came, we both came from OEMs. I've done catastrophic failure investigation. I've done field failures. I've done all sorts of things for what, 10 years before that. And knew that we did have blade problems. Ian just hadn't found out yet. So when I started, Reg and I, we decided that we needed to talk to one another because we couldn't talk to colleagues. Joel Saxum: Birgit, from experiences in the field I would, I want to follow up with that as a hard second. Because so many people Don't understand even today what's going on in the with blades. Like I'll give you an anecdotal problem. I was in a field doing an RCA and out there with a site supervisor who was in charge of 120 odd turbines, big wind farms in the States, right? And he was looking up. He said, yeah, those blades, he's they're just, big plastic wings in the skies. And I was like, they're not actually plastic. And he goes what do you mean?

When we think of data, we think about numbers and statistics, but we don't often think about people. In the second episode of our Humanizing Data Strategy series, we discuss why storytelling, empathy, and creativity are all crucial parts of a successful data strategy. This podcast is for you if you're a data leader looking to communicate and influence data strategy more effectively in your own organization. You can explore more about data gamification here.   Host: Markus Buhmann, Data Strategy Principal, Thoughtworks   Guests: Tiankai Feng, Head of Data Strategy & Governance, Thoughtworks Sebastian Kaus, Head of Data Governance, Vattenfall

Vattenfall väntas besluta om de ska investera i ny kärnkraft långt efter nästa val. Men de tror sig ”veta tidigare” – om kalkylen går ihop.

Allen Hall: First up, Swedish utility Vattenfall is investing 5 billion euros in Germany through 2028, showing major commitment after selling their Berlin heating business. The company plans to build 500 megawatts of solar parks and 300 megawatts of large batteries annually. Two major offshore wind parks, the Nordelake 1 and 2, will add 1. 6 gigawatts of wind capacity. And they're also investing 500 million euros in EV charging infrastructure. Wow, Phil, Vattenfall's going a little crazy in Germany at the moment. This is a big investment. Philip Totaro: Well, and it's coming at a kind of an interesting time because, there's been some, uh, hard to say whether it's mild or moderate disarray in the German government at this point particularly in terms of the level of support that is, is gonna be provided long term to, to renewables. But Vattenfall at least understands and appreciates the fact that, they've got a pipeline that, that's pretty big besides the Nordlicht 1 and 2 projects. I think they've got an additional 1. 5 gigawatts of onshore wind and or solar and, and battery pipeline That they have in, in Germany. So, they're, they're really swinging for the fences here and committing a rather large amount of capital at 5 billion Euro. So that's it, it's, again, it, it could be challenging short term timeframe, but long term they're positioning themselves to be, as big of a player in, in Germany as they, they are in some of the other markets outside of, of Sweden. Where they operate. Joel Saxum: I think a big part of this five billion euros as well as that Nordlicht one and two for 1. 6 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity, because that's just a lot of money to build that big of wind farms offshore. But when you look onshore in Germany, it's a bit harder to develop wind. You have permitting issues and those kind of things, but the tracks of land, it's not like we're here in the United States where we can put 100, 150 turbines out. The tracks of land are smaller, The setback limits are a lot bigger. They have different rules, right? It's a little operations and maintenance is a bit more difficult, more expensive because you have, it's like you have to test your lightning protection systems every two years. You, you have to have multiple ice detection systems. If you're within a certain setback of a road, there's, there's all kinds of little nuances in Germany there. But Vattenfall clearly sees the the advantages of doing some business there. And I know that Germany as a whole. Like you said, Phil, they're in a little bit of a turmoil right now, but they need it. So good on them. Allen Hall: In our second story, Octopus Energy has surpassed two billion dollars in offshore wind investment...

As more of the world's power grids are supplied with renewables, accurate weather forecasting has become an increasingly important asset for power utilities. In this episode of Energy Evolution, correspondent Camilla Naschert speaks to Malte Rieck, meteorologist at Vattenfall, about the key parameters his team is watching, how AI is becoming a sharper tool for forecasting, and how extreme weather events may change the output profile of renewables fleets in the future.   Subscribe to Energy Evolution to stay current on the energy transition and its implications.
