SBM Offshore-designed foundations of the Provence Grand Large floating wind farm were floated out this week at the fabrication yard in Fos-sur-Mer, France.Eiffage Metal, the Fos-sur-Mer fabrication yard owner, said Monday:”The three [floating…
Floating wind is viewed as the final frontier for offshore wind as turbines can be installed in deeper waters than fixed-bottom foundations, harnessing stronger and more continuous wind to generate more power.There are two main types of tender for traditional and floating wind projects…
Portugal's first auction of licenses to build offshore wind farms, set to be launched by year-end, is aimed for projects with a total installed capacity of more than 1 gigawatt (GW), Energy Secretary Ana Fontoura said on Tuesday.In January,…
Norwegian oil and gas company Vår Energi will collaborate with floating wind technology firm Odfjell Oceanwind and Source Galileo to pursue a pilot project for floating offshore wind at its Goliat oil field in the Barents Sea, offshore Norway…
Norwegian oil and gas Equinor has informed that the Hywind Tampen floating wind farm, the world's largest, has started delivering power to its Snorre field, offshore Norway.'As the operator, we’re proud to announce on behalf of the partners…
China's CNOOC Limited said Monday that the Wenchang deep-sea floating wind demonstration project has been connected to the grid for power generation. The demonstration project is located near the Wenchang oilfields in the western part of the South China Sea…
While the fixed-bottom offshore wind dominates, in the not-too-distant future, floating wind will be the answer to efficient and voluminous renewable offshore wind power. Acteon CCO Barry Parsons discusses the technologies being developed and…
