GE Vernova has received 331 million Norwegian kroner from the Norwegian state funding agency Enova to build a 15.5MW prototype offshore wind turbine at the Wergeland base in Gulen, Norway.
The turbine will be completed in 2025 and will be tested for up to five years. In April 2024, the project was approved by the Gulen municipal council, and work is underway to re-regulate the area. The final licence from NVE is expected during the second half of 2024. After testing, the turbine is scheduled to remain on land and produce electricity for another 25 years.
