Equinor is working with the engineering firm Kvaerner to design floating concrete wind turbine substructures. The proposed Hywind Tampen project would feature 11 wind turbines, PV panels and large battery storage systems, generating 88 MW of power off the Norwegian coast in the North Sea. The installations, which are being designed to operate independently during the past four to five years, would meet around 35% of the energy needs of Equinor's Snorre A and B and Gullfaks' A, B and C oil and gas platforms.
