WindPlus, a consortium led by EDP Renewables, has signed a firm order with MHI Vestas for the supply of three V164-8.4 MW turbines for the WindFloat Atlantic project, situated near the coast of Northern Portugal.
The turbines will sit atop Principle Power’s triangular, semi-submersible WindFloat foundations and will be positioned 20 km from shore at a sea depth of 100 meters. With a tip height of 190 meters, they will be the largest and most powerful wind turbines ever installed onto a floating foundation at sea.
Upon completion the project will provide enough wind energy to power 18,000 homes in Portugal.
