Project

HiPoTeSis (High Power Test Sites to consolidate the Industrialisation of FOW in Europe)

Duration

2025 – 2028

Financed by

Funds

2,35 M€

Description of the project

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 5 partners from the Atlantic façade and 3 associated partners, 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.

Partners

Fondation OPEN-C (Coordinador del proyecto) BiMEP (ES), PLOCAN (ES), SEAI (IE), CEO (PT). Entidades Asociadas: EMEC (UK), IREC (ES), CNR (IT).
