Floventis Energy
A joint
venture between SBM Offshore, global specialists in floating offshore energy
and renewable energy project development company Cierco, Floventis Energy is at the forefront of the global
transition to large scale green power generation from floating offshore wind.
Floventis
was awarded the agreement for lease for the Llŷr
developments in the Celtic Sea by the Crown Estate in July 2021 subject to a
Habitats Regulation Assessment. This allows Floventis as the developer to
progress with environmental assessment and surveys, secure access to the grid
and seek planning consent through the statutory processes.
Located 31km off the coast of Pembrokeshire, the Llŷr Developments (known as Llŷr 1 and Llŷr 2) will showcase the next
generation in clean renewable offshore renewable energy technology ahead of
industrialisation. They will power in
the region of 200,000 homes[1] with
200MW of clean, green energy once operational by 2027. With a cap-ex value in the region of £800
million and an operational life of 25 years, each of the Llŷr projects will
consist of six to eight turbines, all of which will be greater than 12MW.
Benthic and
geophysical surveys have now been completed in readiness for the submission of
a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Consultation is expected to start
in July with a full planning application due to be submitted in late 2023.
With an office in
Pembroke Dock, Floventis is committed to working with regional
and local stakeholders to maximise the opportunity for ports and local
businesses to support a sustainable economy.
Supported
by Business Wales and Sell2Wales, Floventis is hosting a supplier engagement
event on Friday 30th June at 10:30 a.m. in order to introduce the
project and engage with potential supply chain partners across Wales.
