What is expected to be the world’s second floating offshore wind farm has received a financial boost from the European Union after the European Investment Bank announced its intention to provide a €60 million loan to Portuguese company Windplus for its planned 25 megawatt (MW) demonstration project off the coast of Portugal.
The world’s first floating wind farm, the 30 megawatt Hywind Scotland, is outperforming expectations and operating at levels consistently above that of its seabound offshore brethren, according to project developer Statoil.
Hywind Scotland, the world’s first floating offshore wind farm has begun producing electricity this week as Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon officially opened the 30 MW wind farm.
The Scottish Government announced this week that it has approved a floating offshore wind turbine which would see eight 6-megawatt wind turbines installed off the coast of Aberdeen, in the country’s northeast.
