Wind

Global Infrastructure Partners and its chairman Adebayo Ogunlesi are shaking up the wind sector with big deals in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the US.

MidAmerican Energy, NextEra and Quinbrook have highlighted the potential benefits of repowering their wind farms.

Iberdrola, Ørsted and Statoil are among the European firms looking to export their offshore wind development expertise to North America. But there is one challenge that these companies will not be used to dealing with in Europe: hurricanes.

Energy Management Inc. and its founder Jim Gordon have played a key role in the growth of US offshore wind, despite the demise of the pioneering project Cape Wind.

New York's recently published offshore wind master plan shows that it is looking to follow lessons learnt in the UK.
