Spanish Greenalia has submitted a planning application for what could be the first floating offshore wind farm off the island of Gran Canaria.
The company filed its project and environmental documentation for a 50 MW project, named Parque Eólico Gofio, which will comprise four 12.5 MW wind turbines on floating foundations.
The project site is located in the South East of the Gran Canaria Island, in waters off the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and close to the port of Arinaga. This is one of the areas with highest wind resource in Europe.
