A Swedish company wants to transform offshore wind with vertical-axis turbines

After testing a 30-kW offshore VAWT near Lysekil, western Sweden, the Swedish company SeaTwirl will build a 1-MW pilot commercial VAWT near Bokn, Norway, with plans to scale up to 10 MW by 2025. VAWTs use wind from all directions, require less space, and don't block as much wind as a HAWT, allowing closer spacing and a smaller footprint.
