Our Commitments

Project Benefits

Each year, WFA supplies 25,000 Portuguese households with clean energy and avoid the emission of 33,000 tons of CO2.

Being a pre-commercial project, WFA holds the objective to be the concrete realization of a proven floating offshore wind technology and represents a step towards large scale commercial floating projects with high impacts on transition towards renewable energy.

Biodiversity

Understanding, monitoring and protecting the marine ecosystem is a priority for WindFloat Atlantic.

Environmental studies have been conducted across all project phases and continue today, covering marine mammals, birds, bats, water quality, underwater noise and biodiversity.

The Floating Offshore Wind & Biodiversity Coexistence: A Data-Driven Report from WindFloat Atlantic consolidates these findings with five years of operational data. It was prepared by Blue Grid, with contributions from MARE-ULisboa and MARE-IPLeiria, and you can find it here.

Communities

WindFloat Atlantic stands as a testament to the opportunity of coexistence, where offshore wind energy goes hand in hand with engagement and respect for the surrounding community, showcasing that offshore wind is powered through collaboration, and shared commitment.

From the very beginning of its development, WindFloat Atlantic has prioritised open dialogue, transparency, and collaboration with the people of Viana do Castelo, embracing local actions, educational programs, etc. that foster their knowledge about offshore wind, and this unique project.

Universities

Education

At WindFloat Atlantic, we believe in the potential of the future talents from our national universities, having a dynamic of participating in the different actions and activities proposed by nearby universities.

Over the last year, we have attended several panels and discussions where we have had the opportunity to introduce the potential of offshore wind energy, with the very example of WindFloat Atlantic.

In March, we sponsored and participated in the 5th ICEC edition, an engineering competition organized by the International Association of Civil Engineering Students from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), where students had to overcome complex engineering challenges. On the Structures challenge, they were asked to create a floating platform to support a model wind turbine and were overseen and supported by Daniel Ribeiro, WindFloat Atlantic’s Asset Manager, who helped the students in the design of the structure as well as in its assembly.
