Equinor & Technip Energies Join Hands for Floating Wind Structures

Equinor & Technip Energies have joined hands to develop floating wind steel semi substructures that aim to accelerate technology development for floating offshore wind, enable cost reductions and develop local value opportunities. The strategic collaboration between Equinor as a leading floating offshore wind developer and Technip Energies as a leading supplier of floating offshore wind substructures, was announced during the Seanergy conference in Normandie in France.The collaboration builds on the two companies joint ambition of driving the industrialisation of floating offshore wind.By teaming up at an early design phase of a floating wind farm project, the two parties seek to unlock value from leveraging complementary competencies in technology and fabrication.With five decades of experience with floating offshore technology and twenty years of floating offshore wind experience and innovation, Equinor has developed a floating toolbox comprising of a set of design principles and solutions that are applicable across floating wind concepts that will enable more local content and industrial standardisation.Equinor is the world’s leading floating offshore wind developer and operator, operating the world’s first floating wind farm, Hywind Scotland (30MW) and soon Hywind Tampen (88 MW) off the coast of Norway which when in operations within 2022 will be the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm.
