Researcher Studies How to Help Protect Wind Farms in Earthquake Zones Early results from research into the impact of earthquakes on the protection of wind turbine foundations are showing some interesting trends. The PhD research by Diarmid Xu at Cambridge University, part-funded by HR Wallingford, is highly relevant as more wind farms are built in seismically active areas such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, North America and India. | BOEM Plans Environmental Review of Proposed Wind Energy Project Offshore Massachusetts As part of the Biden-Harris administration’s goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has announced it will initiate the environmental review of a proposed 2,430-megawatt wind energy project offshore Massachusetts. |
