The Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) has released an updated version of its Offshore Wind Power Hub, a centralised tool designed to help policymakers and advocates monitor offshore wind activity across the USA. The platform’s Interactive Map presents detailed, up-to-date information on offshore wind projects, lease areas, ports, and power landings.

The Fundación Renovables has released a guide promoting best practices for offshore wind development along Spain’s coastline. The document, published with support from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, aims to ensure that offshore wind deployment balances environmental and social impacts while accelerating the energy transition.

For the first time, survey responses for the region were negative across all areas, particularly for long-term prospects.
