  • Vestas gets 390MW wind turbine order in South Korea

    Danish wind turbine maker Vestas has secured a 390MW contract for the Shinan-Ui offshore wind project in South Korea, where they will supply 26 of their V236-15.0MW offshore wind turbines. The project, expected to enter commercial operation in 2028, aligns with South Korea's clean energy transition plans and marks Vestas' first offshore wind contract in the country. Additionally, networked microgrids are being implemented to create a more flexible and resilient energy future, rebuilding the grid for better management of energy resources. These microgrids have the potential to improve overall efficiency and reliability of the energy system, contributing to climate solutions by driving large-scale deployment of offshore wind in South Korea.

  • Musk proposes PV-powered AI satellite network to fight global warming

    Space-based solar power developers are advancing technology to capture solar energy in orbit and transmit it to Earth, with several demonstration projects planned for the near future. Elon Musk believes that AI satellite constellation could make small adjustments to prevent global warming or cooling, but there are concerns about the risks and potential consequences of using such technology to control solar radiation. Countries like South Korea and China are already planning large-scale space solar projects to deliver renewable energy worldwide, highlighting the growing interest in innovative solutions to combat climate change.
