Equinor looks to Celtic Sea for new floating offshore wind opportunities

Equinor today announces its interest in developing gigawatt scale floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea, with the upcoming Celtic Sea floating wind seabed leasing round in view.

We work alongside 700 suppliers in the UK, and have invested billions in the UK in the past decades. We aim to be a leader in the energy transition by building the energy industry of tomorrow, and becoming a net zero company by 2050.

Equinor has ambitions to develop large-scale floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea, and is advancing its projects in the region. We have conducted a comprehensive site selection process and are maturing our interests through aerial surveys. We intend to work with all stakeholders to develop projects that create shared value for local communities in Wales and South West England, and initiate opportunities for the regional supply chain to advance as a competitive hub for floating offshore wind.
