The Bill for Offshore Wind Power Is Rising

With offshore wind projects bleeding cash, governments will have to pay more to hit their clean-energy targets. Recent auctions show just how much more.Higher prices for steel, labor and debt financing have raised the cost of developing a wind farm by almost 40% since 2019. It is a big problem for developers like Danish energy company Ørsted, which signed power supply agreements a few years ago at prices that no longer cover today’s costs.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Clean-Energy Startups Expected a Gusher of Government Money. They Are Still Waiting.

A pile of government cash from last year’s climate law was supposed to fuel a wave of clean-energy startups. Instead, many are running out of money before the funding comes through. Higher interest rates and rising costs have hurt the companies in what are often capital-intensive industries. Washington’s grinding bureaucracy has been slow to dole out the cash from the climate-focused Inflation Reduction Act.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
