IDEOL floating solution is competitive with bottom-fixed foundation starting from 40 meters water depth, thanks to its construction and installation costs below 1 M€/MW and its shallow draught.
A first capital increase has been successfully concluded with private investors in June 2011 and public grants have been received from the French Minister of Research and OSEO, the French public bank in charge of innovation financing.
IDEOL's mobility solution optimizes in real-time the wind farm lay-out as the wind direction changes to eliminate wake losses within the farm. Wind farm annual power production increases by 10%.
