News review: Ørsted's rights issue | US war on wind | Chinese innovation
Description
Welcome to the Wind Power News Review – hosted by Windpower Monthly's senior reporter, Robyn White, and Windpower Monthly's reporter, Orlando Jenkinson – along with our regular panellists, Will Sheard and Shashi Barla.
This time on the News Review, we ask our panellists for their views on Danish renewables major Ørsted’s plans for an €8 billion capital raise to shore up its finances amid an increasingly fraught offshore wind market.
Ørsted’s difficulties are being compounded by relentless attacks on domestic wind power in the United States made by the US government under President Donald Trump, which continues to declare new policies and stop work orders that threaten to undermine wind power’s viability stateside. How much more can the US wind industry take, and what does the future hold?
Across the Pacific, meanwhile, the world’s largest wind power market – China – continues to forge ahead with innovation as unprecedented new technologies from major manufacturers are unveiled. Our panellists examine the viability of these new designs.
