Do all people oppose to living near wind farms? Well, when asked, it turned out that those who lived closer to turbines have a more favourable view of wind power than people living further away. This was one of the results which some may find surprising in a recent survey.

South Kyle Wind Farm will power equivalent of over 187,000 homes / Development and construction phases enabled £44m spending with local businesses and £93.4m in Scotland overall / Vattenfall, the developer and constructor of the project, highlights potential benefits for Scottish economy with pipeline of 500MW of new onshore wind projects operational by 2030 worth £600m

Zelim’s Swift Rescue Conveyor system slashed the time taken to recover manikins that were dropped overboard / Tests were carried out around Vattenfall’s Ramsgate offshore windfarm cluster / More offshore wind than ever before is being built which is why a relentless focus on safety is critical

Concerns have been raised that the installation of the monopiles of the Danish Vesterhav North wind farm could cause a small pod of dolphins to leave the area. The dolphins have, however, neither left the area nor changed behaviour.

As we move to net zero, demand for fossil free electricity is going to increase significantly. The electrification of transport, industry and heat is expected to require at least double the electricity generation we have now. Floating wind turbines is one of the solutions to meet the demand.

How can fossil-free offshore wind power and sustainable food be produced – all while improving the marine environment and biodiversity in the same marine area? This is what the new collaboration 'Win@Sea' between Danish universities, companies and Vattenfall hopes to investigate.

Seabirds deliberately avoid wind turbine rotor blades offshore – that is the main finding of a new study that mapped the flightpaths of thousands of birds around wind turbines in the North Sea. Most importantly, during two years of monitoring using cameras and radar, not a single bird was recorded colliding with a rotor blade.

Cutting edge radar and AI tracks bird species and flight around offshore wind farm in 3D for the first time / No seabirds recorded colliding with turbines during two years of monitoring / Avoidance behaviour varies between species at ranges of 150m down to 10m from wind turbine rotor blade

On behalf of some of the major European energy companies we would like to contribute to the debate on the upcoming reform of the EU Electricity Market Design by making proposals and raising awareness on this very complex dossier.

Consent sought for up to 14 turbines and battery storage investment near Carsphairn, comprising 90MW of wind and 50MW of battery capacity / Wind farm would generate enough electricity to power around 80,000 homes a year / Project to build on Vattenfall’s track record in delivering local job and business opportunities / Plans prioritise 270 hectares of biodiversity improvements - including restored heathland, native tree planting and peatland restoration covering equivalent of 190 football pitches - as well as new tracks for walkers

Vattenfall has conducted the first large-scale seabed survey with uncrewed surface vessels. The results were very positive, both from a climate and a safety aspect. This opens up for a broader use of this new technology.

Vattenfall has today announced that the capacity for the Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone will be increased. Crucially, this will take place with no extra impact for local residents, with its construction taking place within existing plans.

Vattenfall has entered a joint venture with Metsähallitus to build and operate Finland’s first major offshore wind farm. The project, located at Korsnäs off the Finnish west coast, will have a capacity of 1.3 GW and a potential annual production of 5 TWh.

Vattenfall will ensure that at least 10 percent of the cement/concrete procured for its projects is near-zero carbon cement/concrete, by 2030. The new commitment was made in connection to COP27 where the First Movers Coalition today launched a new sector - Cement and Concrete.

Vattenfall has signed a contract with Siemens Energy and Aker Solutions AS to deliver grid connection infrastructure for the Norfolk Boreas Offshore Wind Farm off the British coast.

Vattenfall has obtained the right to develop the N-7.2 offshore wind power project off the German North Sea coast after having exercised its right of entry. The project is expected to generate fossil-free electricity corresponding to the consumption of more than one million German households.

The first power from Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm has been successfully delivered to the Dutch electricity grid.

Grönhult wind power park - rising of power plant

The first wind turbine at Grönhult wind farm is now being erected, where a total of twelve 5.6 MW wind turbines will be installed from Vestas.

Air Liquide has signed its largest long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to date in the Netherlands with Vattenfall, for 115 MW or around 500 GWh per year, of renewable electricity from the offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust Zuid. This PPA comes in addition to a 100 GWh-PPA with Air Liquide announced in March 2021, expanding the long-term partnership.

Vattenfall is buying the majority share in two offshore wind projects off the coast of Gothenburg from wind power company Zephyr. Once fully developed, the projects are expected to generate 10.5 TWh of fossil-free electricity annually.
