Another floating turbine model gets funding in France

Eolink, Valorem and Centrale Nantes have received a €14.9m funding from the French funding program “France 2030". The financed project includes the manufacturing and commissioning of an innovative floating wind turbine developed by EOLINK. Thanks to this project, the floating wind turbine will gain maturity for commercialization. In particular, the innovative solution developed by EOLINK leads to a significant cost of energy reduction thanks to a 30% lighter floating structure.
