Odfjell Oceanwind and renewable energy developer Source Galileo’s Norwegian branch, Source Galileo Norge, have confirmed they will bid in the upcoming tender in Norway for the Utsira Nord area, deemed most suitable for floating wind technology, where they plan to build their UtsiraVIND project.

The two companies partnered last year, after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to cooperate on developing floating wind farms using Odfjell Oceanwind’s technology. The cooperation is targeting wind farms for the electrification of oil and gas installations, the Utsira Nord seabed development, and selected floating wind parks in Europe.
