Vestas, EDP and WindPlus partners inaugurate Portugal

Aarhus, Denmark - Vestas, EDP, Energias de Portugal, Repsol, Principle Power, A. Silva Matos (ASM) and InovCapital announced the inauguration of Portugal

The turbine is a Vestas V80-2.0 MW and is the first offshore turbine installed on the innovative floating foundation called the WindFloat. In addition to being the first offshore wind turbine in Portugal, this is the first offshore wind turbine to be installed without the use of any heavy lift vessels or piling equipment at sea. All final assembly, installation and pre-commissioning of the turbine and substructure took place on land in a controlled environment. The complete system was then wet-towed offshore using simple tug vessels.
