WHEEL

The WHEEL project is developing a globally innovative technology for the construction of offshore wind farms, based on floating concrete structures built by Rover.

The project, with a budget of over 30 million euros, co-funded by the EU and shared amongst 10 partners from 5 countries, will run for five years and has the ultimate aim of demonstrating, at a technological level, a 6MW prototype specially designed for deployment in deep water.

This breakthrough will enable an effective industrialisation strategy, cost reduction and minimisation of the carbon footprint. This Wheel project will enable a crucial step towards cost reduction, addressing the scalability, suitability and availability of new port infrastructure, as well as the sustainability of floating offshore wind energy.

Within the consortium, Rover Maritime is leading the development and construction of two floating concrete structures, each over 40 metres in diameter, which will be assembled afloat in the shelter of a port near their final location in the Canary Islands, within the PLOCAN test area. This ‘Wheel’ project was the first to receive the endorsement and approval of experts from the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme (Grant ID: 101084409) and has been awarded the FLOWIN prize by the US Department of Energy (DOE).
