Episode notes

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, Shashi Barla and Sorcha Versteeg.

In this episode, we examine the escalating pressure on the US offshore wind sector. What impact will TotalEnergies' accepting of the US government's $1 billion buyout of its offshore wind projects mean for the market?

We also explore the latest global installation data, where Chinese OEMs have once again dominated annual additions. Do these figures show that Chinese OEMs are now major global players beyond their massive domestic market?

Finally, the team looks at the growing impact of the conflict in Iran on global energy strategy. With countries such as the UK and Germany accelerating wind auction plans in response, is power security now the dominant driver of renewables policy?
