In this episode, we start by taking a look at Hy24's second fund, a €500 million initiative focused on hydrogen technology manufacturing. Then, at the new of the West Wind project in Orkney being approved, promising a 2GW capacity wind farm that could significantly impact Scotland's renewable energy landscape.

Next, we journey to the US, discussing the finalisation of seabed specifications for two new offshore wind areas in Oregon, set to accommodate a 2.4GW capacity. Also, we look to New York, where the fourth offshore wind solicitation round has sparked interest with six bids for a 3GW capacity.

We also cover the Octopus Energy and National Grid partnership in the UK, aimed at expediting the installation of heat pumps and other low-carbon technologies, potentially revolutionising energy efficiency in British homes.

Furthermore, we discuss Romania's ambitious solar-BESS tenders, Equis' Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub, and PVDP's search for investors to develop the UK's 840MW Botley West solar farm.
