Summary
The HiPoTeSis project aims to accelerate the industrialisation of floating offshore wind by enhancing cooperation between European test sites. Coordinated by Fondation OPEN-C, it brings together five partners from the Atlantic façade (SEAI, BiMEP, CEO, PLOCAN and OPEN-C) and three associated partners (IREC, EMEK, CNR), providing a broader perspective that includes other European maritime basins.
HiPoTeSis proposes a consolidated and transnational approach for the development of test sites capable of hosting next-generation floating wind turbines (>10 MW), going beyond national initiatives focused on lower-power prototypes. The project aims to establish a sustainable partnership in terms of strategic vision, governance, and development resources.
