floating wind

Projects should aim to significantly reduce costs over the long term

The group will meet regularly with the aim of providing a vision for large-scale deployment of floating wind farms in the UK

A full-scale floating turbine is expected to be deployed at a test site by 2022

Different technological solutions will be tested, with the goal of deploying them on a larger scale

It has partnered with Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) to jointly explore opportunities

The project is expected to help deliver significant cost savings compared to existing floating wind concepts

Located in Scotland, the test and demonstration project will have a total capacity of 50MW

The industry is currently at an early stage of development – there are two operational test and demonstration scale projects in Scotland
