Located in 90-m deep water 15 miles offshore, Hywind Scotland is the first floating wind array, powering 20,000 homes. The 5 174-m turbines sit atop buoyant concrete-and-steel keels, anchored to the sea floor with 3 taut mooring cables rather than seabed mounted. 80% of maritime waters are currently out of reach of conventional offshore turbines.
