The Windcatcher technology, officially unveiled in 2021 , utilises smaller turbines and allows for on-site replacement without specialised equipment, according to its developer. The floating wind system is said to have a design life of 50 years and cut acreage use by more than 80 per cent.

This is the third grant for Windcatcher from Enova, following a technology development grant in 2022 and a pre-project grant in 2023 to support the initial implementation of a full-scale Windcatcher.
