Consortium to build Portuguese floating wind farm

An international consortium has been formed to fund and develop a commercial floating wind farm in the Atlantic waters off the coast of Portugal near Porto. This development follows the successful trials of a prototype floating generator unit developed by WindFloat which has been operating for the past four years.

The WindFloat base is fitted with patented water entrapment plates at the base of each column and a patented hull-trim system that distributes water ballast between the three columns
