Wind power | The first offshore floating wind farm in Portugal

ISQ participates in the Windfloat project, the first offshore floating wind farm in Portugal, installed in Viana do Castelo. The services provided by ISQ consist of non-destructive testing, dimensional control, tightness and equipment testing. Based on this new technology, which allows wind exploration in the marine environment to great depths, replacing the traditional fixed tower on the seabed, clean energy is obtained. The project is part of the Industrial Strategy for Ocean Renewable Energies, whose main objective is the creation of an industrial cluster exporting these clean energy technologies with the potential to generate 254 million euros in investment, 280 million euros in gross added value, 119 million euros in the trade balance and 1,500 new jobs. Windfloat Atlantic, using wind energy, is coordinated by EDP through EDP Renováveis and integrates the technological partner Principle Power, Repsol, venture capital Portugal Ventures and metallurgical A.
