    Hywind Tampen wind park, about 140 km off the Norwegian coast in 260-300 m of water, is the world’s first wind farm built to power offshore oil and gas platforms. Installed on floating concrete structures with a shared anchoring system, the farm has 11 wind turbines with a total 88-Mw generating capacity and powers Equinor-operated Gullfaks and Snorre fields.
