Rosemary is back in action to discuss Suzlon's new 3MW machine and SGRE designing a 4MW turbine for the US. It's good to see new turbines and new orders! Scotland is concerned about floating turbines being dragged to Rotterdam for repairs, and discussions are underway for an offshore HVDC cable between Canada and the US. The Gode 1 wind turbine was amazingly back in service 24 hours after being hit by a cargo ship - Joel does a back of the envelope calculation. The new Lisheen III Wind Farm in Ireland is our Wind Farm of the Week!

Allen Hall: We just got back from New Orleans and we spent a little time on the road after New Orleans. Just checking out the general area. I have never been to Mobile, Alabama. I haven't been to Pensacola in a long time. Boy, the Gulf of Mexico is a nice place to hang out. Uh, some parts of America are really cool.
Yeah,
Joel Saxum: you know, it, uh, my better half and I, Kayla, we always talk about traveling. Oh, let's travel here. Let's go to, we want to go, you know, south of Spain, we want to check this, we're gonna go to India, check this up. And like, man, the US is so big and it's so beautiful in all corners of it. Like you could spend a lifetime traveling around just these freaking 48 lower states even and not see it all.
Allen Hall: Yeah, that was amazing. And, and we. Did enjoy New Orleans quite a bit. We had some really good food in, in fact, Joel, you're the one who took us to this really great restaurant. I don't know if we would've found it otherwise, but we had a, a great time there. Hopefully everybody else is recovering from ACP 2023.
There's gonna be an offshore, uh, wind conference in London, and about a week from when this episode releases, that's gonna be a huge deal that that one's a, a, a big one. So these wind conferences are getting to be massive and. Just like this week's episode, this is a massive episode cause we have so much, uh, good news about wind.
Denmark has a massive tender for offshore wind, like it's gonna put America to shame. This, this thing is huge. And, and Rosemary and Joel talk about the implications. Uh, In Denmark and the surrounding, uh, countries, and also what it means for America, uh, because there's a lot of activities is happening in Europe on offshore wind.
Then Sulan down in India has a new three megawatt machine, and they are attracting orders right now, and it's, and they're. Turning a profit, their stock is up. Really good things happening in India with Sulan and Siemens. Ka Mesa has announced a new megawatt turbine for the US for some sort of US weather conditions, and we're not sure what that is.
Joel talks about what possible wind situations exist in the US that don't exist elsewhere, but. Ira Bill is playing a lot into that Siemens S Sch Mesa decision. Yeah, absolutely.
Joel Saxum: And as we are always talking about what's going on in the new, in the industry, we're gonna be visiting one of the, uh, oldest floating.
Wind farms. There's a Scottish turbine up by Aberdeen that actually gets tow, is being towed to Rotterdam for some repairs. Um, which is kind of odd, but, we'll, we'll jump into that one. And then also, uh, Rosemary lends some, some, some really good insights to a proposed US Canadian transmission corridor. So the, there's a.
