TetraSpar Demonstrator

In Norway, we are demonstrating the TetraSpar concept, which is a tubular steel structure with a suspended keel.

The TetraSpar Demonstrator project uses a 3.6MW turbine and was assembled in the port of Grenaa in Denmark. The platform, including the turbine, was towed to the Metcentre test site in Norway and installed safely. The test site located 10 kilometres offshore with a water depth of 200m.

Status: In operation since November 2021

TetraSpar Innovation Challenge

Accelerating Innovation in floating wind

The TetraSpar consortium (Shell, TEPCO, RWE and Stiesdal Offshore Technologies) are inviting start-ups, scale-ups, research institutes, companies and individuals to participate in a global innovative competition.

The purpose of the competition is to accelerate the creation and demonstration of innovative solutions that can be specifically applied to floating wind projects with a focus on reducing cost, technical risk, health & safety risk or impact to the environment.

Join us in taking floating offshore wind to the next level: Companies, start-ups, research or academic organisations worldwide are invited to submit their solutions in the field of ecology, technology and cost reduction before 18th June 2023.
