Pentland offshore wind farm uses Stiesdal floating technology





The Pentland floating offshore wind farm is using Stiesdal Offshore’s TetraSub industrialized floating technology as the project’s floating infrastructure. The technology provides a lightweight and cost-effective floating solution based on factory-manufactured modules, which are then assembled in a domestic port to form a complete base. This concept reduces manufacturing time and transportation costs while providing more opportunities for local supply chains.

“Pentland is a world-leading project that will demonstrate new floating offshore wind technology while improving energy security and reducing costs for consumers,” said project director Richard Copeland.
“To achieve this, new floating offshore wind technologies must be deployed on a large scale to demonstrate and accelerate cost reduction and industrialisation potential. By working closely with Stiesdal, we aim to combine our significant capabilities and the innovative technologies offered in play a key role in the future development of floating offshore wind.”

Pentland’s technology and experience will inform the development of future floating projects in Scotland and the UK, such as ScotWind, INTOG and the Celtic Sea, and the deployment of floating offshore wind globally, while helping to build a strong local and national supply chain industry.
