    RWE’s offshore chief on energy security, targets and technology

    In a special episode of the Wind Power podcast ahead of next week's WindEurope conference in Madrid, RWE offshore chief Sven Utermöhlen discusses the contribution that wind energy can make to Europe’s future energy security.  During this episode, Utermöhlen talked about why avoiding boom and bust cycles – and settling on the correct auction design – is even more important than the overall pace of the energy transition. Also on the agenda was how best to use Europe's wind power manufacturing base and whether there is a part to play for Chinese manfacturers in European wind projects.

    News review: US offshore wind buyout | Global installations | Iran conflict

    Welcome to the Wind Power News Review – hosted by Windpower Monthly's senior reporter, Robyn White, and Windpower Monthly's reporter, Orlando Jenkinson – along with our regular panellists, Shashi Barla and Sorcha Versteeg. In this episode, we examine the escalating pressure on the US offshore wind sector. TotalEnergies has accepted the US government's $1 billion buyout of its offshore wind projects – what will this mean for the market? We also explore the latest global installation data, where Chinese OEMs have once again dominated annual additions. Do these figures show that Chinese OEMs are now major global players beyond their massive domestic market? Finally, we look at the growing impact of the conflict in Iran. With countries such as the UK and Germany accelerating wind auction plans in response, could other countries follow suit? This episode was produced by Inga Marsden. Hosted on Acast.

    Will Whitehorn: “We have to industrialise in space. It is an imperative”

    How do we solve population pressure and climate crisis in space? How has GPS allowed us to provide 12% more food globally? How did the UK become a global leader in small satellite manufacture after the British Government said, “there’s no future for the UK satellite industry”? How did Elon Musk turn reusable rockets from science fiction to science fact in less than 20 years? What else are “Elon and Jeff” going to allow us to do? And why is SpaceX still “the elephant in the room”?   Join Alice as she talks to Will Whitehorn, chair of giant space tech investor Seraphim and former president of Virgin Galactic, and they discuss the implications of “The Elon Musk show” and its legacy, “the beginnings of a competitive space industry of scale”.   Contributors: Alice Bunn, President of UKspace  Dr Alice Bunn OBE FIMechE FRAeS CEng | LinkedIn UKspace: Overview | LinkedIn   Will Whitehorn OBE, Seraphim Space Investment Trust Will Whitehorn OBE | LinkedIn Key topics covered: UK satellite manufactureUK universitiesSpaceX valuationReuseable rocketsAgricultural managementPopulation pressureClimate crisisSolar powerData centres in spaceIndustrialising in space Hosted on Acast.

    The potential of wooden wind turbine components

    This time on the Wind Power Podcast, we spoke with two business leaders at the forefront of re-introducing wooden materials to the contemporary wind industry — Maria-Lina Hedlund, the CEO of wooden wind turbine tower company, Modvion, and Gustavo Lasierra, the co-founder of wooden blade manufacturer Voodin Blades.  Humans have used wooden components to harness the power of the wind for centuries, and now the material is seeing a renaissance with these companies that claim wood is ideally suited for use in modern wind turbine manufacturing from towers to blades.   Modvion and Voodin Blades use layers of wood called laminated veneer lumber (LVL) in their towers and blades respectively, and point out the many advantages using this material can have for wind power, from the cost savings and strength to weight ratios to lower maintenance actions and greater sustainability.  Both firms have faced challenges getting the necessary approvals and permits from the relevant authorities to use their components with contemporary wind turbines, but are now seeking to expand their offering through partnerships with some of the major names in the European wind industry.  This episode was produced by Inga Marsden.  Windpower Monthly is now on Bluesky – follow us at @windpowermonthly.bsky.social for all the latest updates.

    Space-Comm Expo: Jamming, spoofing, FOMO and farming

    What did the Space-Comm Expo conference and exhibition tell us about connecting space and wider business? How does this manifest as tech connectivity in telecoms and why do farmers care about that? What did we learn about the benefits of extreme cold in manufacturing laboratories and why do pharmas care about that? How vulnerable are global logistics to the spoofing of navigation signals? And why is the UK government centralising space strategy in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology?   Join Alice and Jonners as they reflect on the UK space sector’s largest trade event and the “energy, diversity and …sheer scope of what this industry has to offer”.   Contributors: Alice Bunn, President of UKspace  Dr Alice Bunn OBE FIMechE FRAeS CEng | LinkedIn UKspace: Overview | LinkedIn   Jonathan Daves, The Karman Line Jonathan Daves | LinkedIn   Subscribe to The Karman Line Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-k%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n-line/id1876605462 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3qED4CgdRDxfKKzYNKZCIH?si=lZ-I4a19SPGLAJL-dHi4DQ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheKármánLineUK Key topics covered: Space-Comm Expo, London, March 2026 Conference overview Sector integration Insurance Customer utility Government role Future outlook   Technological advancements · Telecoms · Manufacturing   Defence and security · Satellite capabilities · Current threats Hosted on Acast.

    The rise of misinformation and disinformation in wind power

    The Global Wind Energy Council’s (GWEC) chief executive Ben Backwell and researcher Kevin  Winter join the Wind Power podcast to discuss the rise of misinformation and disinformation around wind power, and how misleading claims are shaping public debate about the sector. Backwell explains why false narratives about wind power continue to circulate and how organised disinformation campaigns can take hold, particularly as the rapid growth of renewable energy prompts political pushback. Winter, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Hohenheim, also discusses findings from his 2024 study on public agreement with misinformation about wind farms, which explores how widely such claims are believed and what drives their appeal.

    Why the business of space is everyone’s business

    As of 2026, the UK space industry is a significant and strategic driver of the national economy, contributing over £19 billion in revenue and supporting tens of thousands of high-skilled jobs. Satellite-based services and data underpin roughly 18% of UK GDP, equivalent to approximately £454 billion of the wider economy. And the sector is growing exponentially. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. For the space industry to fully realise its potential it needs more of the right people to understand what’s happening and get involved. People like policy makers, investors, regulators, planners, communicators, lawyers and consultants. Dr Alice Bunn, the president of UK Space, and her panel of guests, Sam Alden co-CEO of Space Solar, Nick Shave managing director of Astroscale and Anushka Sharma founder of Naaut, discuss the surprising, awe inspiring business of space and make the compelling case for why more companies and investors should get involved.  Contributors: Host: Alice Bunn, President of UKspace  Dr Alice Bunn OBE FIMechE FRAeS CEng | LinkedIn UKspace: Overview | LinkedIn Guests: Nick Shave, Managing Director of Astroscale Nick Shave FRAeS | LinkedIn Astroscale: Overview | LinkedIn Sam Adlen, CEO of Space Solar Sam Adlen | LinkedIn Space Solar: Overview | LinkedIn Anushka Sharma, founder of Naaut Anushka Sharma | LinkedIn Naaut: About | LinkedIn Key topics covered: Impact of Space on Everyday Life Practical ApplicationsEnvironmental MonitoringGlobal Security Sustainability and Innovation in Orbit Space DebrisManufacturing in MicrogravitySpace-Based Solar Power Economic and Regulatory Landscape Cost ReductionInvestment and FinanceRegulation and Policy The Future of Space Exploration New PlatformsAcademic Contribution Hosted on Acast.

    WindEurope’s new CEO on targets, sanctions and Trump

    Tinne Van der Straeten, the new chief executive of WindEurope, talks to the Wind Power podcast about her priorities as she takes up her post at the trade body.  In a wide-ranging interview, Van der Straeten, a former energy minister in the Belgian government, spoke about how to meet European wind targets, changing public opinion towards wind power, and whether a firm hand is needed for EU member states that are lagging on faster permitting rules. Van der Straeten also answered questions on whether the EU’s wind installation targets can be met without the input of Chinese manufacturers and gave her reaction to an analysis that suggests Europe could gain from US president Donald Trump’s antipathy towards wind power.
