Floating Offshore Wind
Overview
The Salamander Offshore Wind Farm will be located off the east coast of Scotland, near Peterhead. The innovative floating technology proposed for this project will enable learnings to allow the turbines to be located far from shore and in waters approximately 100 m deep, where traditional fixed bottom turbine foundations would be uneconomical.
