Barrow EnergyDock: UK’s Largest Floating Solar Project Planned for Cavendish Dock
Plans for the UK’s largest floating solar energy project are taking shape as Associated British Ports (ABP) submits a planning application for Barrow EnergyDock. The project, set to be installed in Cavendish Dock at the Port of Barrow, would have a maximum generating capacity of up to 40 megawatt-peak (MWp)—the amount it could produce under ideal sunlight conditions. In practical terms, this is enough electricity to power approximately 14,000 homes per year, primarily supporting Barrow’s advanced engineering sector.
2025 U.S. Energy Expansion: Solar & Battery Surge Despite Policy Shifts
The U.S. energy sector is on track for significant growth in 2025, with 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity expected—nearly 30% more than in 2024, according to the latest Energy Information Administration (EIA) report. This marks the largest annual increase since 2002. Solar and battery storage will dominate, accounting for 81% of total capacity additions, while wind will see moderate growth and natural gas remains a key part of the mix.
