TotalEnergies joins 1 GW floating wind farm development in California

French multi-energy major TotalEnergies SE has become a joint venture partner in the development of a floating wind farm project off the coast of Morro Bay in California, USA. 

TotalEnergies has completed the acquisition of interest from EnBW North America and became a partner of Trident Winds Inc. in the development of the project. The wind farm will be installed about 47 nautical miles from the coast and will cover up to 132 square miles of area. 

Castle Wind is set to participate in the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) lease sale that will be held in late 2022.
