Ocean Winds (OW), a joint venture between EDP Renewables and Engie, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Port of Setúbal in Portugal to work together on preliminary steps in getting the port infrastructure ready for the upcoming offshore wind development in the country.

José Pinheiro , Ocean Winds’ country manager for Southern Europe, said “We are aware that one of the challenges of the energy sector is to have infrastructures capable of serving offshore wind projects on the Portuguese coast, which strategically can serve international logistics”, adding that it will be important to continue “work and dialogue with the port authority” .
