Technip has been awarded by StatoilHydro an EPCI contract for the Hywind Project substructure wind turbine which will be located offshore Karmøy, Norway, at 200-300 meter water depth. It will be the world’s first full scale offshore floating wind turbine (FTW). Installation is scheduled for autumn 2009.
