New Offshore Wind Cost Reduction Project Launched >> Offshore Wind
A new European FP7 project, LEANWIND, which commenced in December 2013, received funding of €10million from the European Commission.
The project seeks to address inefficiencies in logistics and transport issues for offshore wind installations and so contribute to the reduction of costs. LEANWIND was awarded to a consortium of 31 partners from 11 countries and is led by Beaufort Research in University College Cork (UCC) Ireland. The project has a total value of €15million, and will run for 4 years.
