In this episode, we examine the shifting financial landscape for western turbine manufacturers, and why there appears to be widespread restructuring across the sector. Is this a sign of deeper strain, or a natural shift towards tighter, efficiency-focused business models?
We also turn to Ukraine, where Russia has targeted wind farms in a series of attacks. With drones increasingly used in conflict zones, what does this mean for the security of renewable energy, and how should developers and investors operating near frontlines reassess risk?
Finally, the team looks at the latest turbulence in European offshore wind auctions. Denmark faces developer pushback and legal threats over revised tender terms, while the Netherlands saw no bids for a 1GW site. Are rising costs and policy uncertainty now outpacing the ability of existing tender designs to attract investment?
