World's first floating wind farm performing better than anticipated

The 30 megawatt Hywind Scotland floating wind farm run by Statoil and Masdar started operating last fall, and Statoil recently said the farm, a world first, "performed better than expected in its first three full months in production." The floating farm has already survived a winter storm, a hurricane, and wave heights of around 27 feet to power around 20,000 households in the United Kingdom. Related:
