The Llŷr 1 and Llŷr 2 projects, comprising two separate 100MW sites, each testing different technologies, are located south of Pembroke, on the UK’s Welsh coast.
The Llŷr wind farms will be amongst the first floating offshore wind test and demonstration projects to be developed and constructed in the UK, showcasing the next generation in clean renewable offshore renewable energy technology.
The projects have all come forward through The Crown Estate’s Test & Demonstration leasing opportunity – designed to support the development and commercialisation of innovative energy technologies. Each of the projects will test new foundation and mooring technologies, using new designs, materials and construction approaches.
