How Our Welsh Wind Farms Are Showing They Are Good Neighbours; Spreading the Benefits of Wind Farm Developments into Local Communities Could Be Vital to the Industry, Chris Kelsey Writes
Iowa and Nebraska — states either with many wind farms or a high potential for wind power — found wind companies rank among the biggest taxpayers in many rural communities, with their total tax bills at times outstripping that of large farms, power plants and other major businesses. While t...

Our east coast location, coupled with minimal port restrictions, means vessels can be out in the fields a lot faster through reduced steaming times. Additionally, our river harbour can support CTV and SOV vessels used for the operation and maintenance of windfarms such as Equinor’s Dudgeons an...
I really thought when talking about drought in America sometimes that can be a six-week thing where there's no rain. Whereas, here in Australia over the last few years we saw areas that only had one or two inches. Ridiculous small amount of rain. And for ourselves, we were in Inve...
