The Uptime Wind Energy Podcast

Live from Wind Europe 2023 in Copenhagen

37 min • 3 maj 2023
Joel Saxum and Allen Hall report live from Wind Europe 2023 in Copenhagen, where Maersk and GustoMSC have joined forces to develop an innovative solution for lowering the cost of offshore wind installations. They are designing a cost-effective jack-up vessel and simple feeder barges. Meanwhile, the US Coast Guard is warning captains of supply vessels carrying wind turbine blades to ensure that the blades do not block the view from the bridge. EDF is betting on 20+MW offshore machines, while Norway is investing in both fixed-bottom and floating wind farms. Nordex is expected to restart its Iowa factory, Kansas requires red lights to be turned off, and Colorado is celebrating a wind turbine tower factory expansion.

I'm Allen Hall along with my co-host in Denmark this week, Joel Saxum  Joel Saxum: but we're here at Wind Europe 2023 in Copenhagen. So it is the, if you're an American listener, it is like acp. But it is the the yearly one here in Copenhagen. Next year, it'll be in the Basque country, kind of bounces around. But yeah, it hasn't rained on us yet here today, so. No, I know.  Allen Hall: It's been really sunny Copenhagen. Yeah, the weather, the weather has been good. We took a tour of downtown Copenhagen yesterday. Very exciting lot to  Joel Saxum: see there. Yeah, absolutely. So if the list, if you're a regular listener, you heard us kind of engage after we were in Hamburg about how that show was if you remember correctly, that show was bonkers. It was, it was so big. There was it was so large so many people going around this one. Beautifully done. Not quite as big but still fairly busy. I mean, we've had we're here with the, you know, we got the Weather guard booth, we have the Wind Power Lab booth, the ping booth. We're all kind of in the same area. Some of the friends we have and, and we're, we've all been busy. We've had a steady stream of people interested in what we're offering all day long, and some, even people talking about the Uptime podcast, maybe even a picture. Yeah. That's right. Allen Hall: Walk around the show today, Joel. And we were here yesterday taking a look around as, as all the booths were getting set up. The main emphasis in Copenhagen is offshore wind. Yeah. Yeah. That's offshore wind like, doesn't even really  Joel Saxum: exist on some level. Yeah. As you fly in, right? Like if you're coming to the airport, there's offshore wind turbines right there. So if you're coming over from the US or somewhere else that you don't normally see offshore wind turbines, you get to see some as I flew in on Sunday afternoon, they were spinning like crazy. So good to see that. But yeah, so the, I mean, we're here in Denmark, right? So you have Germany and going in towards the Baltic Sea and then the North Sea. There's a lot of Dutch companies here. So a lot of offshore wind focus at this show. Definitely there's a lot of vessel companies. Yeah. There's a lot of sub sea service companies so cool to see that we don't normally see in the us for sure.  Allen Hall: Well, I, I think one of the, the big takeaways from me is, is that, Big, heavy industry and in wind, particularly offshore. It is happening here in Europe. Oh yeah. There's almost no American presence.
