Archer’s floating offshore wind solutions provider Archer Wind has won a contract with TotalEnergies for delivery of the floating wind foundation for the 3MW Culzean wind pilot.
The turbine will be connected to the Culzean platform, an offshore oil and gas facility 230km off the East coast of Scotland and will provide renewable electricity to supplement the existing power generation from gas turbines.
Installation of the project will take place in late 2025 and Archer Wind is already progressing with detailed engineering and engaging key fabrication and assembly subcontractors to ensure timely execution of the project.
“We are honoured to collaborate with TotalEnergies on this pilot project and combine our project execution expertise with Ocergy’s next generation floating foundation design,” said Archer Wind chief executive Wolfgang Wandl.
He added: “We are set to advance the standards in the floating wind industry and reduce the levelized cost of energy with one of the most promising floater designs in the market.
“This contract underscores Archer’s development of renewable energy services with our customers and highlights the company’s capacity in floating offshore wind solutions.”
