Offshore wind jacket lifts via ring crane keep work going, whatever the tide
Quayside load-out flexibility optimizes the offshore installation campaign Offshore wind projects taking place in macrotidal environments, such as around the UK, must deal with water level changes of more than four meters every six hours. This extreme tidal range is difficult to compensate for using ballasting, so projects that require load-in or load-out of large jackets are delayed when waters are too high or low, leaving the installation vessel waiting. This was the challenge facing G...

Current Share of Energy Projects Requiring High-Level Review that Are Clean Energy
Source: Federal Permitting Dashboard. Last accessed July 2023. by Philip Rossetti The federal government implemented a partial permitting reform earlier this year as part of the law that raised the debt limit. Additional changes to federal permitting are likely needed, as there are still major issues related to judicial review and consistency of treatment for technologies with similar environmental footprints. In the past, R Street has pointed out that these reforms are more likely t...
