The Llŷr projects will offer the opportunity for floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea, with two test and demonstration arrays that will power in the region of 200,000 homes[1] with 200MW of clean, green energy.

Location: Celtic Sea

Operator: Floventis Energy Ltd

Duration: 2023 - ongoing

We’ve been awarded the Owner’s Engineer contract for the Llŷr 1 and 2 wind farms in the Celtic Seas by developer Floventis Energy Ltd. This is a joint venture between Cierco, a renewable energy project development company, and SBM Offshore, specialists in floating offshore energy.

Llŷr, a flagship project for the UK, will further transform the world’s ability to generate renewable electricity from wind. Llŷr projects are demonstrating the potential of two innovative floating offshore wind platforms within an array of 6 - 8 units each.

On this project and in partnership with Vekta Group, we will provide multidisciplinary Owner’s Engineer support, covering CDM, Hull and Mooring, Electrical, WTG, Site layout, Geotechnical, Metocean, and project management.

The two 100 MW projects are progressing through pre-FEED, expecting to reach a commercial operation date by 2027. The Llŷr projects will allow floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea, with two test and demonstration arrays that will power in the region of 200,000 homes with 200MW of clean energy.
