The Second Wave of Floating Wind Power

Windeed’s floating wind solution, engineered for mass production and meticulously designed to meet all industry requirements, slashes costs, accelerates wind farm deployment making floating wind economically competitive with land based wind.

Why first wave floating wind is stalling

The First Wave adapted oil & gas designs, but this legacy approach has hit a wall:

Too Expensive – Oversized steel and concrete structures drive CAPEX unsustainably high.
Too Complex – Shipyards, dry docks, manual welding and ultra large quay side cranes throttles output, slows construction and increases project risks.
Difficult to Maintain – Towing turbines to port for repairs racks up downtime.
Scarce Resources – Reliance on limited shipyards, dry docks, chain fabrication and ultra large land cranes caps scalability.

The result? A technology that can’t keep pace with the world’s energy needs and financing requirements.

The second wave:
Windeed’s fully industrialized floating wind solution

Windeed flipped the script. Combining fresh ideas, input from technology experts across different industries and sound engineering principles we developed a requirement specification, mapping every need from development to O&M before designing our solution. This approach has resulted in a low cost and low risk yet high performance floating wind system that delivers a class leading Levellized Cost of Electricity.

Low Motion AND Low Weight – Innovative design overcomes contradictory requirements achieving superior stability with less material
Serial Production Ready – Assembly and installation throughput at two units per week.
Fast Deployment – One GW farm in just one season.
In-Situ heavy parts replacement – Heavy lifts at sea, no tow-to-port needed.
Seabed Flexibility – System allows different types of anchors allowing optimisation depending on seabed conditions.
Resource Smart – Sidesteps scarce supplies for a robust supply chain.
Minimal Impact – No seabed chains, nature-inclusive design.
Low environmental Impact – Mooring does not stir the seabed, less material means less CO2.

This isn’t evolution—it’s a step change in cost reduction and scalability.
