Windeed is pleased to announce that we have joined the World Forum Offshore Wind (WFO) , the leading international organization dedicated to advancing offshore wind energy. As a non-profit industry network, WFO brings together key players from across the offshore wind sector to support the expansion of wind power worldwide. Our membership aligns with Windeed’s mission to make floating wind a cost-effective and scalable energy solution. With our innovative floater design, we aim to contribute to the industry’s efforts in reducing costs and improving efficiency in offshore wind deployment. As part of WFO, Windeed will participate in the Floating Offshore Wind Committee , a forum dedicated to addressing the technical and commercial challenges of scaling floating wind projects. Collaboration with industry peers in this group will help accelerate the development of floating wind and strengthen its role in the global energy transition. We look forward to working with WFO members to advance offshore wind and drive innovation in floating wind technology.

At the recent Floating Offshore Wind Conference in Aberdeen, Windeed CEO and founder Bertil Moritz delivered an inspiring talk on the future of floating wind power. He unveiled Windeed’s revolutionary approach to reducing the cost of energy (LCOE) through a groundbreaking system designed for mass production. Moritz challenged traditional thinking, addressing key myths in the industry, and shared how Windeed’s innovations could make floating wind competitive with land-based wind power. 

September 12, 2024 – Västerås, Sweden Windeed is excited to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with ASCO, a leading global provider of logistics and materials management. This partnership aims to strengthen both companies’ positions in the floating wind sector by optimising logistics and operations for floating offshore wind projects. Key Goals of the Partnership The collaboration will focus on creating a comprehensive logistics plan to facilitate the construction and deployment of 1 GW of floating wind power in a single season using Windeed’s innovative floater technology. Additionally, an advanced operations and maintenance (O&M) services plan will be developed. A core component of this strategy is the use of Windeed’s unique in-situ heavy lifting solutions, allowing for significant turbine repairs directly at sea. This capability minimizes downtime and reduces the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE), making Windeed’s floating wind solutions both cost-effective and efficient.

Ny Teknik, one of Sweden’s premier technology publications, recently featured Windeed and our innovative floating wind technology. The article highlights our founder and CEO, Bertil Moritz, who described our floating wind turbine concept as “the Billy bookshelf of wind power” due to its modular design. This unique structure is designed for industrial-scale production, setting us apart from traditional, material-intensive offshore designs. The article details our recent wave tank tests at Aalborg University in Denmark, which confirmed the stability and resilience of our lightweight floating foundation. Designed with a central tower anchored by three buoyant steel cylinders, our system uses advanced materials to ensure minimal wear and maximum durability, even in rough sea conditions. Our approach achieves comparable LCOE to land-based wind power. This recognition by Ny Teknik underscores our uniqueness and the market's interest in Windeed's solution. Read the article here .

A group of six resourceful students from Uppsala University have significantly contributed to floating wind farm development during their three-month research project at Windeed. The students, Mattias Blavier, Elin Granath, Emelie Jin, Elin Johansson, Axel Svensson, and Kristina Thylin, embarked on this project as part of their Bachelor Theses in the energy systems program. Their research aimed to optimize the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for a typical floating wind farm site, scrutinizing several factors including wind rose data, turbine wake effects, bathymetry, and mooring system requirements. Tom McKay, Project Development Lead at Windeed, commended the students' contribution to the organization, stating, "Their time here has been a valuable learning journey, benefiting both the students and Windeed alike." Floating wind power is recognized by one of the most cost-effective ways to quickly increase renewable energy production with minimal impact on urban and rural landscapes. The research conducted by these students has provided fresh insights into this form of energy production, reinforcing its potential for the future. Windeed applauds the hard work and dedication displayed by the students from Uppsala University and looks forward to observing their continued contributions to renewable energy in the future.
