Spanish floating wind player Greenalia has secured key permits required for the development of its 50MW Gofio floating offshore wind project off Gran Canaria.
Greenalia obtained authorisation in terms of aeronautical easements by the State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) for the assembly of the four wind turbines for the wind farm.
With this permit, Greenalia has the approval for Gofio in the port of Arinaga and for its subsequent towing to the final location, planned in front of the municipality of San Bartoloma de Tirajana, within the territorial sea of the Canary Islands (Spain).
Greenalia’s objective is to obtain the necessary environmental and administrative authorisations for Gofio’s construction and, with this, to make Gofio the first offshore wind farm connected to the Spanish grid.
