The morning wind
briefing

Today's feed is dominated by two converging pressures on the offshore wind sector: a tightening turbine supply chain driving price spikes in Europe, and mounting policy uncertainty in the US as developers absorb cancellation costs ahead of tax-credit phase-outs. Fatal safety incidents at wind farms in South Korea and onshore Europe add an operational risk dimension that asset managers and insurers will need to track.

Europe's offshore wind turbine prices spike as supply chain tightens, Rystad Energy finds

A Rystad Energy study reported by Windpower Monthly finds that shrinking manufacturing options for offshore wind turbines are causing prices to spike across Europe's offshore wind sector. The market now effectively relies on two OEMs — Vestas and Siemens Gamesa — after GE Vernova's offshore exit, concentrating supply risk. Recharge News separately reports that Siemens Energy's CEO warned offshore wind projects are not reaching final investment decisions quickly enough to sustain a healthy order pipeline. For asset managers and developers, higher turbine prices compress project economics and extend payback periods on new builds.

US wind sector faces $2 billion in cancellation costs as tax-credit phase-out looms, installations set to surge in 2026

Wood Mackenzie data cited by Windpower Monthly projects US wind installations will reach approximately 11 GW in 2026 — the highest annual total since 2022 — as developers accelerate builds to capture tax credits before they are phased out under current policy. Fortune reports that Americans are absorbing roughly $2 billion in wind project cancellation costs in parallel, a direct consequence of the current administration's regulatory posture. Recharge News also notes the Interior Secretary simultaneously attacked permitting 'logjams' while defending federal wind and solar roadblocks, creating conflicting signals for project planners. The combination of a near-term installation surge and elevated cancellation liabilities represents a bifurcated risk environment for financiers and insurers active in the US market.
