In this week's episode of Energy Transition Today, we kick off with the Orsted's deepening woes over its offshore wind developments in the US while the energy giant tries to minimise the fallout from its rights issuance announcement. The developer insists on "business as usual" while pushing ahead with non-core asset disposal strategy.

Keeping with the turbulent offshore wind sector, we touch on the potential permit revocation for US Wind's 2.2GW proposal off the coast of Maryland and Mitsubishi bowing out of a portfolio in Japan.

We round off the offshore wind segment with Luxcara's decision to drop a Chinese turbine manufacturer in favour of Siemens.

On to the more positive battery storage news, we unravel GreenGo's financing plans for its MACSE portfolio, the planning permits for BayWa, OPD Energy's megaprojects in the UK and end on an update on the shareholder revolt at the Gore Street Storage Fund.
