- 1Wind turbine supplier EEW to cut around 100 jobs in Rostock●Der # Windkraftzulieferer # EEW in # Rostock will bis Jahresende rund 100 # Arbeitsplätze abbauen. Das entspricht etwa z
Wind turbine component maker EEW plans to cut about 100 jobs at its Rostock site by the end of the year, roughly ten percent of the workforce. The company blames a lack of orders for offshore wind farms and growing competitive pressure from Chinese manufacturers. The cuts highlight mounting strain on Germany's wind energy supply chain despite the country's push to expand renewables.

China had about 561 GW of installed wind capacity in 2024, with thousands of wind farms across the country. More than half of the world's offshore wind turbines were located in China by spring 2025, making it the global leader in wind energy. The figures are being cited to push back against claims that China lacks renewable energy leadership.

A new episode of the transport news show TEN covers three stories: BMW's upcoming iX4 electric SUV, the 2027 Pebble Flow travel trailer, and construction of the world's tallest wind turbine. The episode gathers the latest developments in electric vehicles and renewable energy technology for transport enthusiasts following the shift to cleaner mobility.
- 6Arafura breaks ground on Nolans rare earths mine in Northern Territory▼nolans rare earths mine northern territory
Arafura Rare Earths has begun construction on its Nolans project in the Northern Territory, a landmark development for Australia's critical minerals sector. The mine is set to produce neodymium and praseodymium, key materials for electric vehicle motors and wind turbines, positioning Australia as a significant supplier outside China's dominant rare earths supply chain.
- 7BMW iX4, 2027 Pebble Flow and World's Tallest Wind Turbine▼TEN 602 | BMW iX4, ’27 Pebble Flow, World’s Tallest Wind Turbine!
A new BMW iX4 electric SUV is in the headlines alongside the 2027 Pebble Flow RV and news that the world's tallest wind turbine has been built. The items are being discussed together as part of a round-up of electric vehicle and clean energy news, covering upcoming EV models and advances in renewable power infrastructure.
- 8MoD objects to four windfarms over radar interference fears▼MoD has objected to four windfarms in past year over radar interference fears https://www. theguardian.com/environment/2
The UK Ministry of Defence has raised objections to four windfarm projects in the past year, citing concerns that turbines could interfere with military radar systems. The objections add another hurdle for renewable energy developers, with critics warning that defence-related planning blocks could slow the expansion of wind power needed for the UK's climate and energy targets.
- 9Germany plans wind turbine taller than the Eiffel Tower▼"Wind turbine taller than the Eiffel Tower aims to boost German electricity production" # Germany # WindTurbines # Energ
A new wind turbine in Germany is being built to a height exceeding that of the Eiffel Tower, with the aim of increasing the country's electricity production from renewable sources. The project highlights Germany's ongoing push to expand wind energy capacity and meet its energy transition targets, drawing attention for the sheer scale of the structure.
- 10Offshore wind turbines may cool ocean surface waters▼Offshore wind turbine foundations may cool ocean surface by mixing seawater
Researchers report that offshore wind turbine foundations could mix seawater and slightly cool the ocean's surface. The finding adds a new dimension to debates over the environmental effects of large wind farms, suggesting impacts beyond the better-known effects on wildlife, shipping and coastal views.
- 11A world without wind and solar: imagining the counterfactual▼What if the world hadn't built wind and solar?
A new essay asks what global energy and emissions would look like if the world had never built wind turbines and solar panels. It explores how much higher greenhouse gas emissions would be today without renewables and reflects on the pace of the clean energy transition. The piece has drawn attention among energy and climate watchers discussing the value of decades of renewable investment.
- 12Germany Builds World's Tallest Wind Turbine▼Germany Builds World’s Tallest Wind Turbine. Power Pending.
Germany has constructed the world's tallest wind turbine, though it is not yet generating power as connection work remains pending. The project highlights Germany's ongoing push into large-scale renewable energy infrastructure. Details on the turbine's exact height, location, and grid connection timeline have not been widely reported yet.
- 13Study finds offshore wind farms affect ocean temperatures▼Study reveals influence of offshore wind farms on ocean temperatures
Researchers at the University of Aberdeen have published a study examining how offshore wind farms influence ocean temperatures. The findings suggest that large-scale turbine installations may alter sea surface conditions around them, a consideration as countries expand offshore wind capacity to meet climate targets.
