A new route to commercialisation for floating wind
- 30 June 2022
Floating wind’s virtually unlimited potential has from its inception made it a strong vision. Seven years ago, Wood Mackenzie wrote, the “next step is to prove that floating foundations are economically feasible” and go commercial. This is still the challenge for floating wind, and we can conclude that commercialisation is not a step; it is a leap.
