Goodtech has confirmed the go-ahead of a pre-feed study by Green Volt Offshore Wind Farm, intended to be one of the first commercial-scale floating wind farms in Europe. Green Volt is a partnership between offshore wind developers Vargronn and Flotation Energy.

Once complete, Green Volt will generate up to 560 MW of renewable energy capacity. The project will provide electricity to oil and gas platforms, replacing power generated by existing gas and diesel turbines. Green Volt will also produce electricity for the UK grid.

The goal of the study is to ensure the successful development and operation of the offshore wind site, while maintaining the requirements of the end-users and delivering a secure IT/OT infrastructure. Goodtech will utilise its experience within digitalisation in offshore wind by providing a digital strategy, cyber security and data management solution.

Goodtech’s extensive experience in renewable energy projects and its focus on innovative and sustainable solutions were critical factors in securing the contract. The pre-contract study is due to start imminently and will involve Goodtech working closely with Green Volt to deliver a timely and efficient service.

Regarded as one of the most progressive commercial-scale floating wind farms in Europe, Green Volt is well positioned to drive the European floating offshore wind industry further forward.

Charlotte Elmelid, Leading engineer in Vargronn, explains that Goodtech’s sustainability experience makes them an ideal partner for this new floating offshore wind farm project. Charlotte says that Vargronn is confident the pre-feed study will create valued insights and suggestions to enable ongoing success.

Margrethe Hauge, the CEO of Goodtech, believes the partnership solidifies their position as an assured provider of systems and data solutions for the renewable energy industry. Their team is excited to support the groundbreaking Green Volt project and enable the transition to a greener and more sustainable future.
