The base of the structure will be approximately 30 metres wide and 64 metres long. The platform will be towed to its anchorage point in a test field (BiMEP) 2 miles off the Basque coast (Spain) where the sea is about 85 metres deep. DemoSATH will have the potential to produce electricity for 2,000 homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project aims to collect data and gain real-life knowledge from the construction procedure, operation, and maintenance of DemoSATH floating wind platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DemoSATH manufacturing works speeds up in the Port of Bilbao (Spain).
