Market

WindBarge aims for the commercial market for intermediate waters. These are depths with a large energy potential in the shores surrounding Europe, USA and other areas like the Taiwan Strait. It is especially suited for the Northern Sea where these depths are covering a substantial area.

 

In the Norwegian area, Southern North Sea II is a potential area suitable for the WindBarge technology. The main goal is to develop floating technology with lower LCoE and CAPEX than the existing deep draft floaters and bottom-fixed technology operating today. The ambition for GFMS is to deliver 1% of the total European offshore wind capacity within 2030 and at least 2% within 2050. This will require 47 units, each 15 MW to be delivered by 2030 and by 2050, 23 units will be built every year.

​

The WindBarge can be designed for wind turbines at any size and from any manufacturer, giving the design the flexibility to take up a larger percent of today's wind market.

​

The WindBarge can also be used for future wind park extensions in parks where previously cost efficient and suitable technology was missing.
