Floating Wind
Floating wind turbines allow offshore wind farms to be installed in deeper waters, unlocking new energy potential beyond traditional fixed-bottom designs.
How It Works
Turbines are mounted on floating structures, which are stabilized using mooring systems anchored to the seabed. Electricity is transmitted back to land through underwater cables.
Why Floating Wind Matters
By avoiding fixed seabed foundations, floating wind reduces environmental disruption and expands offshore wind development to areas with strong wind resources but deep waters.
Future of Floating Wind
Still in its early stages, floating wind technology is advancing rapidly. As costs decrease and deployment scales up, floating wind is expected to play a major role in expanding global offshore wind capacity.
