Businesses in Wales are being invited to a meet the buyer event to become part of the supply chain for wind farms in the Celtic Sea. The online supply chain event, hosted by Business Wales, Sell2Wales and Floventis Energy, will be held on Friday 30 June.
It is the first opportunity for firms interested in bidding for work in the floating offshore wind market to be introduced to the Llŷr wind farms located 31km off the coast of Pembrokeshire. The Llŷr developments (known as Llŷr 1 and Llŷr 2) have come forward through The Crown Estate’s Celtic Sea Test & Demonstration leasing opportunity.
Floventis Energy, a joint venture between SBM Offshore and Cierco, was awarded the agreement for lease by the Crown Estate in July 2021. The two Llŷr 100 megawatt (MW) wind farms aim to act as pathfinder projects in preparation for larger commercial projects for floating wind in the Celtic Sea.
