Our assets, our projects

Launch of the Velella R&D project aiming at reducing the environmental impact of floating wind turbines

With a French Government grant of 5.7 million euros (as part of the “France 2030” program implemented by ADEME following the “DEMO Tase” call for projects), Velella has for objective to qualify several technology bricks & innovative methods needed to prepare the deployment of commercial floating wind projects under the best economic, social & environmental conditions.

This project will be a first in the MRE sector: each innovation will be driven by an eco-design approach, from life cycle analysis to recyclability and impact on the underwater environment. The Velella R&D project brings together multiple internationally recognized industrial and academic players: BW Ideol, as consortium and project leader, Centrale Nantes, the OPEN-C Foundation, IFREMER, ENSTA Bretagne and IVM technologies.

Our new Ardersier Harbour serial fabrication video is out !

Following a year and half of feasibility studies carried out by our team of engineers, we're proud to demonstrate that we'll be able to deliver Damping Pool floaters equivalent to 1 GW per year at Ardersier Harbour.

BW Ideol entered into exclusive negotiations to raise € 40 million from ADEME Investissement to co-fund the growth of its project development activities
