Construction process of a floating offshore wind farm

05.15.2024

About 80% of the offshore wind resource potencial lies in waters deeper than 60 meters. So, how can do we tap into this renewable energy? Thanks to floating offshore wind farms, we’re able to maximize this clean energy source, speeding up the decarbonisation of the planet and generating new employment opportunities. How to build a floating offshore wind farm? Find out!

  1. The construction process starts on land, where floating platforms, wind turbines, anchoring systems and the necessary cabling are manufactured.

  1. The construction process starts on land, where floating platforms, wind turbines, anchoring systems and the necessary cabling are manufactured.
  2. The constructed elements are transported for assambly at a port near the offshore wind farm for their further installation in deep waters.
  3. Anchoring systems ensure the stability of the platforms against waves and currents.
  4. Offshore cables are installed and connected between wind turbines and offshore substations, ensuring efficient power distribution.
