Conrad Purcell, a partner in the Energy practice group, and Jonathan Morton, an associate in the Energy practice group, authored an article in Infrastructure Investor titled “Navigating the Deep Waters of Offshore Floating Wind.” Read below:
Floating offshore wind may be an industry still in its infancy, but it is growing up rapidly. It has now moved from the purely theoretical to the practical, and a flood of new projects are hitting the market. For example, the partners BW Ideol, TotalEnergies and Qair recently reached the final investment decision for the EolMed project, a 30MW off - shore floating wind farm in the French Mediterranean.
Further afield, in Japan, the construction of the first floating wind farm in that region is scheduled to start in September 2022, featuring eight hybrid spar-type floating foundations delivering 16.8MW of power.
