Wind farms in the North and Baltic Seas are making a significant contribution to Germany's energy transition, and their share of electricity generation is increasing. Last year, offshore wind energy generated a total of 25.

Dominion Energy has announced that its 2.6GW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project is 50% complete and on track for completion by the end of 2026. The project will boost the local economy, creating 2,
