Regulatory News:
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces the
launch of a pilot project consisting in a floating wind turbine to
supply renewable power to Culzean offshore platform in the UK North
Sea, thus pioneering an innovative decarbonization scheme.
The 3 MW floating wind turbine will be located 2 km west of the
Culzean platform, 220 km off the eastern coast of Scotland. This
turbine, expected to be fully operational by end 2025, will supply
around 20% of Culzean’s power requirement, thereby reducing its GHG
emissions. The turbine will be installed on a modular, light
semi-submersible floater hull designed by Ocergy, allowing for fast
assembly and optimized costs.
“This innovative pilot project aims at proving the concept of
hybridization of power generation on an offshore facility, by
integrating the generation of renewable electricity from a floating
wind turbine with the existing power generation from gas turbines.
It also aims at qualifying a promising floater design for the
future of floating offshore wind,” said Marie-Noelle Semeria,
Chief Technology Officer at TotalEnergies.
This pilot project was selected in Crown Estate Scotland’s
Innovation and Targeted Oil & Gas (INTOG) leasing round,
designed to encourage and support the use of offshore wind energy
to directly supply offshore oil & gas platforms.
