WindFloat offshore platforms hit 1TWh power milestone as floating wind moves to commercial scale
Principle Power has announced that its WindFloat® floating wind technology has surpassed 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) of total electricity generation since 2011, marking a major milestone for the offshore wind sector.

The figure includes output from the 2MW WindFloat 1 pilot, the 25MW WindFloat Atlantic project in Portugal, and the 48MW Kincardine Offshore Wind Farm in Scotland.

Together, these floating platforms have delivered power through some of the world’s harshest conditions, including 20-metre waves and Category 4-equivalent wind speeds.

With 99% platform availability and zero lost time incidents, the system is showing commercial viability.

CEO Julian Arrillaga Costa said: “Reaching the 1TWh milestone validates our technology and team. These projects have taught us vital lessons and strengthened our position to deliver cost-effective floating wind at scale.”

The company is now preparing to deliver large-scale commercial floating wind projects in key markets including the UK, France and South Korea.
