IberBlue Wind introduced right this moment it’s planning to develop a 990-MW floating offshore wind venture off the coast of central Portugal.
The Botafogo wind farm will function 55 wind generators, every with a person 18 MW capability, put in on an space of 359 sq km (138.6 sq mi). The floating generators might be positioned 30 to 50 km (18.6-31 mi) off the coast of the Figueira da Foz municipality.
The location is without doubt one of the 5 areas designated by the Portuguese authorities for offshore renewable power exploration, because of the robust wind potential, port infrastructure, low impression on different actions within the space and site close to the centre of the nation the place power demand is greater.
For IberBlue Wind, that is the primary floating offshore wind venture in Portugal. The corporate was created in September 2022 as a three way partnership (JV) between Irish ocean power developer Merely Blue Group and Spanish companies Proes Consultores and FF New Power Ventures. Its purpose is to develop some 2 GW of floating wind tasks off the Iberian Peninsula. In November, the JV introduced its first offshore wind venture, the 990-MW Nao Victoria off the Spanish coast.
