The 525 MW floating offshore wind farm will be located over 30 kilometres from the coast, in the waters between Cedeira and Cariño.
The project is expected to cover 13 per cent of Galicia’s current electricity consumption and three per cent of its total energy consumption.
The first phase is projected to generate around 6,000 direct jobs related to construction and contribute to Galicia’s GDP, potentially increasing regional economic activity by up to 1.75 per cent.
BlueFloat Energy, Sener, and Plenitude plan to build three floating wind farms in Spain.
Apart from Parque Nordés, the companies are also developing the 500 MW Parc Tramuntana in Catalonia and the Parque Tarahal in the Canary Islands.
