The Ministry for Ecological Transition has issued a favorable environmental impact statement for the floating offshore wind test platform that the Generalitat is promoting in the Gulf of Roses, named Plemcat. The resolution, which will be published in the BOE in the coming hours, represents the main administrative step pending for the initiative to continue its processing and move towards the tendering phase.

US President Donald Trump has been harboring animosity toward wind energy since wind turbines ruined his ocean views at one of the tycoon's golf courses in Scotland. Since Trump returned to the White House, he has also claimed that wind farms are "ugly, expensive, and an unreliable source of energy," and has launched a crusade against the wind energy industry. One of the companies that has felt the most headwinds from the US administration is the Danish energy giant Ørsted, a pioneer and world leader in the construction of offshore wind farms, with two of its major projects currently under construction in the US.

Donald Trump's anti-green energy policies in the United States are beginning to have a global impact. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has revised downward its forecasts for renewable electricity growth. This agency has cut its estimates for 2030 by 5% compared to the previous forecast. This modification is essentially related to the restrictive policies of the US administration, according to this organization's annual report. In its analysis, the agency highlights that projections for the world's leading power have been cut by almost 50% compared to those made last year.
