Hywind Tampen is an 94.6 MW floating wind power project developed to provide electricity for the Snorre and Gullfaks oil fields in the Norwegian North Sea. It will be the world’s first wind farm to power offshore oil and gas platforms, reducing CO2-emissions by 100 000 tonnes annually from each field. • Once in operation it will also be the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm and an essential step in industrialising solutions and reducing costs for future offshore wind power projects. • • Hywind Tampen will be a test bed for further development of floating wind, exploring the use of new and larger turbines, installations methods, simplified moorings, concrete substructures and integration between gas and wind power generation systems. It consists of 11 turbines with a capacity of 8.6 MW each, based on one of Equinor’s floating offshore wind technologies, Hywind. • In the spring of 2022, we’re assembling the 11 turbines at #Wergeland base in Gulen, on the Norwegian west coast. The crane from #Mammoet, which does all the heavy lifting, is the largest land-based crane operating in Norway. The tower sections, nacelles and blades are delivered by #Siemensgamesa, while the concrete substructures are constructed by #AkerSolutions.
