Concession for test turbine in Øygarden
01. March 2010
Sway AS is granted a licence from the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate for constructing a test turbine with accompanying infrastructure in Naturgassparken, Øygarden.
The turbine will be located at the south of Ljøsøyna, within an area which is regulated for industrial purposes. The wind turbine will have a capacity of 10 MW and a rotor diameter of 145 meters.
A crucial factor for producing floating offshore wind turbines in the future, is to reduce the costs per energy unit. NVE has evaluated Sway's test turbine as an important contribution to approach a technical- economical realization of possible future offshore energyproduction from fixed and floating wind power foundations.
The construction of the prototype will be conditional on financial support from Enova.
