Five developers selected to build the first floating wind farms in U.S. federal waters. To support the California Energy Commission’s planning goals of 2-5 GW of offshore wind by 2030 and 25 GW ...

Among potential users is the Floating Energy Allyance, which last year secured development rights for the potential 960-MW Buchan Offshore Wind project, about 47 miles off Scotland's northeast coast.

Floating platforms can support wind turbines that can produce 10 megawatts or more of power—that’s similar in size to other offshore wind turbines and several times larger than the capacity of ...

The Aqua Ventus wind project is the cause for the discontent. In 2019, Maine’s governor signed a set of bills designed to get the state to 80% renewable energy by 2030.

Spar buoy. Already being commercially used off the coast of Scotland, the Spar buoy is the most commonly thought of structure for a floating wind turbine.It is anchored by a ballast underneath ...

Concrete Floating Turbine Economizes Wind Power Dec. 3, 2015 Statoil recently revealed plans to set up five of its Hywind cylindrical-float turbines in what’s deemed as the first floating wind farm.

The water there gets deep quickly, so any wind farm that is even a few miles from shore will require floating turbines. Newsom said the area could initially provide 4.6 gigawatts of clean energy ...

The 144 MW project in Maine will generate local performance data that propels large-scale floating wind deployment, if it passes environmental tests.

Floating wind turbines. Aqua Ventus generates power with “VolturnUS 1:8”, a 65-foot-tall floating turbine prototype that is one-eighth the scale of a planned six-megawatt turbine with a 450 ...

As the world’s floating wind power fleet has expanded from prototype to array, with first commercial-scale projects now tantalisingly close to lift-off, the debate in industry has tended to focus ...

Saipem, the Italian oil and gas contractor, has unveiled a novel floating offshore wind substructure that will go into the water for testing off Ireland's west coast from 2022.
