MONACO – Britain’s Crown Estate has confirmed its intention to proceed with the lease process for two 100-MW floating wind test and demonstration sites offshore southwest Wales in the Celtic Sea to Llŷr Floating Wind Ltd.
The formal award will be subject to a habitats regulations assessment, after which, the Llŷr project will progress with environmental assessments and surveys.
Floventis Energy, a joint venture between SBM Offshore and Cierco focused on development of floating wind projects, is seeking to secure seabed rights and relevant permits for the project.
The venture plans to test new foundation and mooring technologies at each of the 100-MW Llŷr 1 and Llŷr 2 projects.
