Ørsted, the world’s leading offshore wind developer, has 30 years of experience developing, building, owning, and operating more offshore wind farms than any other company. It develops pioneering blue economy projects, predominantly floating offshore wind, however it is also involved in e-Fuels, wave energy, low-impact aquaculture, CDR, and seaweed farming and has a global pipeline of floating offshore wind in over 14 countries. To counter some of the known challenges of developing floating wind at scale, Salamander will trial key innovations to support future commercial scale floating wind projects. It will allow Scotland to maximise the financial benefit of its strong offshore wind resource, generate long-term jobs for local communities and export its expertise globally as floating offshore wind reaches its potential. That will feed into the UK’s larger goal of 50GW of offshore wind by 2030 – including 5GW of floating offshore wind.
