First turbine arrives at Equinor’s Hywind Tampen floating wind project

The first of eleven turbines has now arrived at Equinor’s Hywind Tampen project off Norway, as installation begins in earnest.

The 88-megawatt (MW), 11-turbine scheme is currently billed as the world’s largest floating wind power project, and will provide electricity for the Snorre and Gullfaks oil and gas fields.

The first unit sailed away from the Wergeland base in Gulen on Norway’s west coast last Thursday, towed by the Skandi Iceman AHTS.
