US company Entrion Wind and Acteon through its US InterMoor business unit are to jointly conduct a feasibility study of a patent pending FRP monopile design for 35 to 85-metre water depths off Massachusetts.
Under the agreement, the companies will collaborate to optimise the FRP design for 10MW and 15MW turbine applications.

The study will combine Acteon’s work as a global mooring provider with Entrion Wind’s patent pending FRP design and offshore engineering background.
The companies may also collaborate in a future FEED study for a specific site and Entrion Wind may request Acteon to provide mooring EPCI services for a follow-on pilot or demonstration project, subject to cost targets being met.
