Xodus studies impact of offshore wind pilot park

Xodus Group will plan and carry out an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for Statoil’s potential pilot park for the world’s first full-scale floating wind turbine. The Hywind turbine is based on the Hywind Demo prototype, which has been tested with success by Statoil in Norway more than a year. An area located off the North-east coast of Scotland will be appraised as a prospective candidate for a possible first pilot park of up to five units, generating renewable electricity offshore.
