Hywind Tampen is a floating offshore wind farm 140 km off the Norwegian coast in the North Sea owned by the Norwegian state-owned energy company, Equinor. The turbines are mounted on cylindrical concrete spar-buoy foundations.
The wind farm provides electricity for Equinor's Snorre (platform A and B) and Gullfaks (platforms A, B and C) oil and gas field; Snorre lies just North of the wind farm, and Gullfaks lies just South. Hywind Tampen is the world's first renewable energy power source for offshore oil and gas, and when commissioned was the world's largest floating offshore wind farm. At full capacity, Hywind Tampen will provide 35% of the electricity demand for Snorre and Gullfaks.
