RWE is well on track to become a pioneer in the floating wind and to have one gigawatt either in operation or under construction by 2030.
To gain experience early and pave the way for commercial-scale floating wind, RWE is participating in multiple high-profile floating demonstration projects like the DemoSATH pilot project with Saitec Offshore Technologies.
Pre-lay of the mooring system
In early May, the anchor-handling vessel Maersk Mariner completed the installation of six mooring lines (comprised of hybrid lines of chain and fiber rope) and six drag anchors. The mobilization and loading of the mooring lines elements and preparation of the vessel was done at Punta Sollana quay, in the port of Bilbao (Spain), where the onshore construction of the floater is currently underway.
DemoSATH mooring, anchoring and quick connect solution is set for the 2MW turbine that will be tested later this year and which will be the first floating turbine connected to the Spanish grid.
