Greenalia starts developing floating project off Gran Canaria

GREENALIA is launching its first floating offshore wind project in Gran Canaria, filing its project and environmental planning application. The Parque Eólico GOFIO is a 50 MW offshore wind farm located in the South East of the Gran Canaria Island, in front of the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and in close proximity to the port of Arinaga.

The power plant consists of four 12.5 MW offshore wind turbines on top of floating foundations and will deliver the energy produced by the use of submarine cables. The energy produced by Parque Eólico Gofio is expected to be enough to support approximately 70,000 households, as well as avoiding the equivalent of 140,000 tons of CO2 or the emissions of the 90,000 cars yearly.

GREENALIA stated that this project could help to unlock the potential of offshore wind off the Spanish coast. It also expects that the full development, construction and operation of Parque Eólico Gofio will contribute to the green development in the Canary Region in order to meet 310 MW Marine Renewable Energy target established by the Canary Government in 2017 in its “Estrategia Energética de Canarias 2015-2025 (EECan25)”. It is expected that this development and others coming will position the Canary Island as one of the leading regions in the world on the development of floating wind energy.
