Problem
Offshore wind energy installations are typically limited to shallow waters, restricting the number of viable locations and increasing costs as water depth increases. Current monopile foundation technology is constrained to depths of approximately 40 meters, necessitating alternative, more expensive foundation solutions for deeper sites.
Solution
Entrion Wind provides Fully Restrained Platform (FRP) monopile foundations that extend the operational depth of monopiles to 100 meters, unlocking access to deeper offshore wind locations. The FRP monopile technology leverages existing monopile and offshore mooring technologies to reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) compared to alternative foundation types. This approach enables the economic viability of offshore wind projects in previously inaccessible locations, facilitating the expansion of renewable energy generation. The FRP monopile integrates with existing supply chain frameworks, allowing companies to work with established partners for fabrication and installation.
Target Audience
The primary customers are offshore wind energy developers and operators seeking cost-effective foundation solutions for deeper water locations.
