News Review: Empire Wind | US tariffs | Hornsea 4 | OEM results
Description
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 Sorcha Versteeg.
This time on the news review, we ask our panellists for their views on a tumultuous few weeks in the United States, which has seen the US government order a stop to work at Equinor’s Empire Wind offshore wind project in New York. The halt order has since been rescinded, but uncertainty continues to reign in the West’s biggest wind energy market.
We also explore how President Donald Trump’s tariffs are impacting the global wind industry, from rival markets in Europe and China to the responses of the biggest wind energy firms.
Meanwhile, Danish renewables major Ørsted has suspended the Hornsea 4 offshore wind farm in the UK North Sea. What does this mean for the company, and the industry, going forward?
Finally, we examine the first quarter financial results of major western wind turbine manufacturers, which seem to be improving after years of difficulties.
