Energy companies RWE and Northland Power have selected Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas as the preferred turbine supplier for their Nordseecluster wind project in Germany. 

The 1.6GW Nordseecluster project comprises four offshore wind sites located in the German North Sea, north of the island of Juist. Vestas will provide 104 of its V236-15.0MW offshore wind turbines for the project subject to a final investment decision.

Spanish energy company Repsol has agreed to acquire a 250MW renewable portfolio in Spain from ABO Wind. 

Located in Palencia, the portfolio includes three wind farms with 150MW of combined capacity, as well as two solar facilities with a total capacity of 100MW. Under the agreement, ABO Wind will be responsible for developing these projects for Repsol.

Spanish renewable energy firm BlueFloat Energy has unveiled plans to develop Eastern Rise, a 1.7GW floating offshore wind facility in Australia. 

The floating wind farm will be built in a proposed offshore wind zone in the Hunter Region, which had been announced by Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen.

British power company Boom Power has secured a 237.5MWac import and export grid connection for the Thorpe Marsh Power Station in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. 

The company plans to build a solar power plant that will be coupled with battery energy storage systems and classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project by the UK government. It is currently exploring the land area for this project locally and carrying out feasibility studies to inform the scheme.
