Norwegian energy company Gullfaks and its partners in the Snorre and Gullfaks oil and gas fields off the Snorre coast have secured part of the funding needed to develop 11 offshore wind turbines, each delivering 8 MW. The wind farm would be based on Equinor ’s As reported earlier, the solution to be further explored is a wind farm in the Tampen area consisting of 11 wind turbines based on Equinor’s floating offshore wind concept, Hywind. Hywind floating wind system and the industry's NOx fund is to invest NOK566m ( $67m ). Equinor ’s partners will also apply for support from the Enova programme, which backs innovative energy and climate schemes. The turbines would provide about 35% of the power to the five nearby Snorre and Gullfaks platforms.
