Canada sets goal of 5 GW of offshore wind by 2030, while US sector faces policy headwinds

Canada is aiming to install 5 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030 as it looks to enhance energy security and become a ‘clean energy superpower’. Meanwhile, in the US, although offshore projects currently under construction are expected to proceed, new projects have been blown off course by the passing of President Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ and other energy policy developments.

The new energy trilemma – why national security is reshaping the global energy transition

Reflecting on what was said at International Energy Week 2026, it seems the energy transition is now unfolding in a far more complex strategic environment than first envisaged, defined by geopolitical competition, supply chain fragmentation, technological rivalry and climate-related disruption. In this new landscape, energy systems are no longer viewed simply as economic infrastructure. They are increasingly understood as strategic national assets – critical to economic resilience, industrial competitiveness and national security. As a result, the traditional energy trilemma is evolving into a new framework, writes Peter Godfrey FEI, Energy Institute Asia-Pacific (APAC) Managing Director, and Founder & CEO of CarbonSync Technologies (Singapore.)

Trump’s election could reshape US energy policy and hinder global climate action

As President-Elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House in January 2025, the energy sector is bracing itself for significant shifts in US energy policy. Despite fears that his repeated pledge to prioritise oil and gas production could slow global efforts to combat climate change, many experts believe robust growth of renewable energy in the US will persist. However, the fall-out of Trump’s electoral success has already been felt at the COP29 climate negotiations, which opened in Baku, Azerbaijan, this week.

Are community energy projects the best way to gain support for renewables?

Most people agree that climate change is a problem that we should try to mitigate. But in Britain’s rural and coastal areas, there is often stark opposition to new renewable energy projects. Uniting communities and getting them to support clean energy projects is crucial for meeting net zero targets. Gemma La Guardia, Consultant and Research Associate at Guidehouse ES&I reports.
