Ocean Winds is the result of a joint venture announced in 2019 by EDP Renewables (EDPR) and ENGIE. Both companies share the vision in which renewables, particularly offshore wind, play a key role in the global energy transition. OW’s vision is to innovate towards a carbon neutral world using the wind’s flexibility to adapt to new environments and it’s power to move us towards more sustainable options. it’s mission is to make offshore wind into one of the main energy sources by delivering more efficient and sustainable wind energy solutions.

In the framework of WindFloat Atlantic (WFA) Project and together with other partners, OW was involved in the development of an innovative floating technology, which allows for the harnessing of wind resources and generate electricity in places where water is too deep for fixed-foundation turbines, gaining access to the wealth of wind resources which were previously inaccessible. These innovative wind farms also permit lowering product costs and ensure more stable wind speeds. The innovative focus of the technology was the design of a floating offshore wind, based on experience from the oil and gas industry, to support multi-MW floating wind turbines in offshore applications.

OW uses this floating technology and the traditional bottom-fixed technology in it’s offshore farm projects.
