Finnish invention revolutionizes the construction of offshore wind energy

Offshore wind farms are facing a considerable bottleneck in construction, as the current method of installation using offshore lift vessels is both slow and expensive. Finnish Elomatic offers a foundation solution that makes installation without lift vessels possible and is up to 20 % more affordable than current methods.With Elomatic’s Float Foundation concept, the windfarm is installed onshore using cranes. The wind farm and foundation are then towed to the site of operation and lowered to sea without lift vessels. This method is 10-20 % more cost-effective than current installation
