EMEC ( EMEC ) will lead a € $35m M ( $35m ) project to test a floating wind turbine off Interreg North West Europe of AFLOWT by 2022 . The project is known as Accelerating market uptake of Floating Offshore Wind Technology (AFLOWT) and is the first project of its kind at such scale to draw on expertise from right across Europe. A consortium, including the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland , Italian oil and gas firm Saipem and other European groups, will look to prove the durability and competitiveness of offshore floating wind installations and will develop a supply chain to support them. The project, called "Accelerating market uptake of Floating Offshore Wind Technology"—or AFLOWT—has secured funding from the west coast .
