Aikido to Deploy 15 MW Floating Offshore Wind Demo Project Aikido Technologies will deploy what they say is a first-of-its-kind 15 MW demo project, called ‘AO60’, at METCentre.
Once installed in 2027, the platform will be one of the largest floating wind platforms constructed and deployed to date, according to METCentre. The Aikido platform consists of thirteen modular steel components, including columns and trusses, that can be fabricated at existing offshore wind or steel fabrication sites.
