Spain – Repsol and Ørsted have joined forces to develop floating offshore wind energy in Spain.
Floating offshore wind is nearing commercialization after several years of concept development and small-scale testing, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The global floating offshore wind market is expected to reach 21 GW of installed capacity by 2035. By 2030, Spain wants to have 3 GW of floating offshore wind.
