Members of the Gazelle Wind Power team joined the Instituto Hidrográfico aboard the Portuguese navy vessel, NRP Andrómeda, for a geophysical survey at the site of Gazelle Wind Power’s planned 2 MW floating offshore wind demonstrator site off Aguçadoura.

The team demonstrated extraordinary dedication to developing a unique platform design, securing the TUPEM, raising the financing, and building a strong network of partnerships and support. Reflecting on these accomplishments while looking back at the beach from the test site was a powerful moment, especially because this moment means that Gazelle Wind Power is one step closer to delivering the project.

Planning the installation of a floating offshore wind turbine involves a tremendous number of variables and unknowns, making accurate measurement and data vital. As the raw data flowed in from the seismic scans and were cross-referenced with the multibeam images, a clear path forward started to emerge. While there is a long way to go, the company is steadfast in its commitment to reduce the LCoE of floating offshore wind and accelerate its commercial deployment.
