Ørsted, a Danish renewables company, is using heavy-lift cargo drones to enhance operational efficiency at the Dutch Borssele 1 & 2 offshore wind farm, significantly reducing time and costs compared to traditional methods. Offshore wind energy development is gaining traction globally, with China focusing on optimizing wind farm layouts to mitigate the wake effect and improve power efficiency. In the U.S., NOAA is surveying coastal residents in Southwest Louisiana to gauge community concerns regarding a $65 billion investment in offshore wind energy by 2030, addressing issues like fishing, water quality, and navigation routes.
