Subsea 7 announces floating wind joint venture
Subsea 7 announces floating wind joint venture
?
Luxembourg - 29 March 2021 - Subsea 7 S.A. (Oslo Børs: SUBC, ADR: SUBCY) today
announced that it has entered into a joint venture with Simply Blue Energy, the
Cork-based marine developer, to further develop its Salamander floating wind
farm concept, off the north east coast of Scotland.
Salamander is a pre-commercial project of up to 200MW that will combine Simply
Blue Energy's experience in floating wind developments in the Celtic Sea, with
Subsea 7's expertise in delivering offshore energy projects in Scotland. As the
concept matures, it is anticipated that a strategic investor will be sought to
support the execution of the project.
John Evans, Chief Executive Officer, Subsea 7 commented: "Subsea 7 believes that
floating wind has an important role to play in the energy transition and a low
carbon future. We look forward to working with Simply Blue Energy on this
exciting project."
