The hoisting of the first wind turbine of the Hywind tempen floating offshore wind power project, which will provide part of the power for the Snorre and gulfaks offshore oil and gas fields near Norway, has been completed.

The first Siemens gamesa wind turbine of 95mw Hywind tampen floating offshore wind farm under construction in equinor, Norway, has been installed in Norway.

The wind farm will include 11 Siemens gamesa 167-8.6 MW wind turbines with a diameter of 167 meters and a matched blade length of 81.5 meters.

The total installed capacity of Hywind tampon floating offshore wind power project has been upgraded to 95mw (11 8mW Siemens COMESA wind turbines were originally planned to be installed, with a total installed capacity of 88mw), in order to provide some power for five offshore oil and gas operation platforms near Snorre and gulfaks in the North Sea of Norway. This is the world’s first floating wind farm to power offshore oil and gas platforms. The project adopts concrete column type (spar) substructure.

Hywind tampen adopts the concrete column type (spar) structure developed by kV æ rner. Tempen project is 140 kilometers offshore and 260-300 meters deep, with a total investment of nearly 500 million US dollars. The project will be fully put into operation in the third quarter of 2022.
