The News Was Released by EDP, Which Along with Engie and Repsol Finances the WindFloat Atlantic Project

Pioneering project in Portugal, the offshore wind farm begins its operations. Located off the northern coast of Portugal, the park produces energy that is transported to land via an underwater cable. The project called WindFloat Atlantic has the capacity to supply 60,000 homes in one year.

The WindFloat Atlantic project is financed by European energy companies such as EDP Renewables, Engie, and Repsol and uses the floating platform developed by Principle Power. Three turbines with a combined capacity of 25 megawatts will be connected, helping to increase the economic viability of floating wind farms in the increasingly competitive renewable energy market.

Floating turbines may have an advantage over traditional offshore platforms due to faster installation. The turbines in Portugal float 100 meters above the seabed, a depth about two-thirds greater than the maximum possible for fixed offshore farms.
