Biome Renewables and Enercon collaborate on wind turbine noise reduction technology
- Category: Product News
Enercon has signed a memorandum of understanding with Canadian company Biome Renewables to explore the integration of Biome’s FeatherEdge serration technology on Enercon wind turbines.

Negative bidding for offshore wind fading in Europe, says WindEurope
- Category: Industry News
WindEurope reports that European countries are moving away from “negative bidding” in offshore wind auctions, a practice where developers pay for the right to build projects, which has often discouraged investment. The shift comes as the EU aims to increase offshore wind capacity from 21 GW today to 46 GW by 2030, and eventually 300 GW by 2050.
Global renewable capacity expected to more than double by 2030
- Category: Industry News
Renewable electricity generation continues to grow strongly worldwide, with global capacity forecast to more than double by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency’s latest *Renewables 2025* report. The IEA notes that this rapid expansion, led by solar photovoltaic (PV), is taking place amid supply chain constraints, grid integration issues, financial pressures, and evolving policy environments. The report projects that global renewable power capacity will increase by 4,600 GW by 2030 — roughly equivalent to the combined total generation capacity of China, the European Union, and Japan. Solar PV will account for around 80% of this growth, driven by falling costs and faster permitting, followed by wind, hydro, bioenergy, and geothermal.
