FOREWORD
Floating wind is an emerging technology with an exciting future. It gives access to abundant wind resources
over deep water – making it an important solution for coastal zones with large populations but with narrow
continental shelves. These new wind resources will be an important addition to an energy mix that urgently
needs to decarbonize.
Our projections are that floating wind will grow to reach a total capacity of 250 GW by 2050. That is almost
3,000 times the size of Equinor's Hywind Tampen floating wind power project in the Norwegian North Sea
intended to provide electricity for the Snorre and Gullfaks fields from 2022.
We know that floating wind is technically feasible; the challenge now is to move rapidly to commercial
deployments. There is a wealth of expertise to call on. The know-how from bottom fixed offshore wind, the
competences of shipyards, and of oil and gas contractors all broadly align with the technical, logistical and
operational challenges of floating wind. Pulling these resources together through joint industry projects to
innovate new practices and standards is a major opportunity to bring step-change improvements to an
emerging industry.
We at DNV GL offer our commitment to develop a cost-competitive and global floating offshore wind industry.
In this report, we explore the potential to accelerate commercialization of floating wind by reflecting the
opinions and experiences of our experts from numerous industries.
