SUBSTRUCTURE TECHNOLOGY FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES

After eight years of development, Esteyco moves a step further in the demonstration of its revolutionary substructure system for offshore wind turbines, with the construction of a full-scale operational prototype at Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.

The demonstrator is aimed to bring the technology to the highest trl (technology readiness level), and ready for commercial stages.

The prototype will be the first bottom fixed offshore wind turbine in Spain and in all of southern Europe, and the first one in the World ever to be installed with no need for heavy-lift offshore vessels or cranes, in a groundbreaking step which paves the way towards new capabilities for low cost deep offshore wind.
