World's first 15MW floating wind units in frame as Spanish offshore gathers pace
Floating Wind progress
Three-unit Geroa project in the Bay of Biscay next step in upscaling of innovative concrete platform design from start-up Saitec
Floating deployments are set to play a major role in the deep waters off Spain, where large-scale fixed-bottom installation of the sort seen in northern Europe will not be possible.
Major players such as Iberdrola are already laying the ground for potential large-scale developments. The Spanish giant earlier in June confirmed it had submitted initial proposals for around 1GW of floating wind off the north-western province of Galicia.
Spanish authorities are in the process of updating the regulatory framework that will allow the development of commercial offshore wind projects larger than 50MW.
