New record for my off-grid 6KwH wind turbine. It was a very windy night and it generated 74.3 KW in a 25 hour period (got up late today to go get reading) so it is approx 50% efficiency at 2.97KwH generation #NewDailyRecord #WindPower #WPM

New UK wind power supply record and doesn't include my off grid 6KwH turbine which has been very productive this month #WindPower #Electric #NationalGrid

Port Talbot tipped for key role as third Celtic Sea wind farm confirmed
The decision completes the trio of sites awarded under the UK’s Offshore Wind Leasing Round 5, joining projects already secured by Equinor and Gwynt Glas earlier this year. Together, the three floating wind farms are expected to generate enough clean energy to power more than four million homes.
Port Talbot in the spotlight
Ports including Port Talbot and Bristol have already been identified as front‑running candidates for turbine assembly and deployment. With deep‑water access and existing industrial infrastructure, Port Talbot is seen as a natural hub for the heavy engineering and logistics required to deliver floating offshore wind at scale.
Local leaders have long argued that investment in the Celtic Sea must translate into jobs and training opportunities in South Wales. Under Round 5 rules, developers must ensure at least 3.5% of their workforce are apprentices and that 10% of employees aged 19–24 are not in education, employment or training, opening the door for significant opportunities in Neath Port Talbot.
Welsh Government hails investment
Welsh Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning Rebecca Evans said the certainty over all three sites “will help unlock investment from ports, manufacturing companies and skills providers,” adding that Wales is now “at the global forefront of the offshore wind sector.”
Industry groups including RenewableUK and the British Ports Association welcomed the announcement, saying it positions Wales and the South West of England at “the cutting edge” of a sector that could support nearly 100,000 UK jobs by 2050.
Ocean Winds brings global experience
Ocean Winds, described as a world leader in floating wind technology, has already delivered the WindFloat Atlantic project in Portugal and operates major UK wind farms including Moray East and Moray West.
The Crown Estate said it had taken steps to “derisk” Round 5 for developers, including grid connection plans with the National Energy System Operator and extensive technical and environmental surveys.
What happens next
Ocean Winds and the Crown Estate will now work towards finalising an Agreement for Lease by spring 2026, allowing development work to advance.
For Port Talbot, the coming months will be crucial in determining whether the town secures a central role in turbine assembly and deployment – a move that could bring hundreds of skilled jobs and billions of pounds of investment to the local economy.

Việt Nam chiếm 73% công suất điện gió đang vận hành ở Đông Nam Á và dự kiến sẽ góp 45% tổng công suất điện gió mới của khu vực tới 2030, chủ yếu từ các dự án trên bờ và gần bờ. #Vietnam #WindPower #RenewableEnergy #NăngLượng #ĐôngNamÁ #ĐiệnGió 🌬️🇻🇳

Canada could build #OffshoreWind power to sell electricity to the underdeveloping US.
Nhu cầu tiêu thụ điện thấp và lượng nước về các hồ thủy điện lớn khiến điện gió bị cắt giảm công suất, làm dấy lên lo ngại trong cộng đồng doanh nghiệp và nhà đầu tư. Việc huy động nguồn điện gió ở mức rất thấp được cho là ảnh hưởng đến hiệu quả đầu tư và năng lực khai thác năng lượng tái tạo. #WindPower #RenewableEnergy #Electricity #EnergyVietnam #ĐiệnGió #NăngLượngTáiTạo #ThủyĐiện #NguồnĐiện #VTCNews

Đơn vị điều độ hệ thống điện quốc gia giải thích việc cắt giảm công suất điện gió dựa trên các tính toán kỹ thuật, không phân biệt đối xử giữa các doanh nghiệp. Các nhà máy điện gió ở Quảng Trị “kêu cứu” sau lệnh giảm huy động, nhưng quyết định này nhằm duy trì độ ổn định lưới điện. #ĐiệnGió #NăngLượng #Vietnam #WindPower #Energy #GridStability #QuangTri #NationalGrid.

China’s CO₂ emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months
#Solar and #windPower generation grew by 46% and 11% respectively in the third quarter of this year and the country’s energy sector emissions remained flat, even as the demand for electricity increased.
#China added 240GW of solar capacity in the first nine months of this year. Last year, the country installed 333GW of solar power, more than the rest of the world combined.

Note:
1- Australia is going for clean energy, but also still exporting coal so other nation's can keep polluting (2nd world exporter)
2- Combining solar and wind energy would eliminate the need for fossil fuels almost entirely
3- Electricity could be paid through taxes if governments wanted it to be
Jesse Lee: "The problem for the Republican Party on utility bills isn’t messaging, it’s that they’ve been engaged in the biggest massacre of energy production in American history. Everybody from utilities to big tech warned it would jack up rates, but their oil and gas donors were just more important."

Regarding wind turbines, Trump’s wrong of course, but says “They’re ugly. They don’t work.”
A bit like America’s current president then…
What is Trump's problem with wind power?
“We’re all working together on this issue,” #RFKJr said during the cabinet meeting, where he expressed concern about wind’s impact on whale & fish populations🤦🏼♀️.
#Trump, who fought against a #wind project within view of his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, has long shown contempt for #WindPower, claiming without evidence that the farms cause cancer, & dismissing them as overly expensive eye-sores.

Great use of fee energy. It is simpler for retirees to adjust their schedule to coincide with sun-powered generation. Late showers, early dinners, etc… it isn’t a great burden.
Juggling the FIT with daily supply charges (power providers) is the last bastion to crack open or to go off-grid. Not easy to do yet. But when we do, what’s the bet bloody grifters will come up with a way to tax your independent system just for using it? Over my dead body! I’ll lay my life down on that hill if I live to see it.
