About Floventis

Floventis Energy was established in 2021 with the goal of becoming a market leader in offshore floating wind power, shaping the global energy transformation by bringing forward test and demonstration projects to expediate the commercialisation of floating wind power.

 

 

What sets us apart is our unique knowledge, flexibility and ability to navigate uncertainty.  This has allowed us to deliver unique portfolios of developments, placing us in leading roles in the Celtic Sea in the UK and in California in the US.

We pride ourselves on being nimble and fast-moving, playing a pivotal role in shaping the global energy transformation by bringing commercial scale decarbonisation solutions to new markets.

 

Cierco is an independent renewable energy project development company. It was established in 2001 with a simple goal – to engage in the field of offshore wind power and to drive technologies and projects that would compete with directly with the cost levels of conventional power. Cierco uses its expertise to identify which innovative technologies will maximize economic and environmental benefits in any given location.

Leadership Team

Our team, connects us to a global network of expert partners. This allows us to source precisely the right people to meet specific project needs and challenges. Consequently, we can provide an exceptionally wide range of offshore wind management expertise, skills and services.

Mikael Jakobsson

Mikael founded CIERCO Corporation in 2001. His first offshore turbine started turning in 1989 and, over the past 33 years, he has built up an unrivalled knowledge of the wind energy sector, from development to deeper technology understanding as well as operational experience. Mikael has held senior management roles with some of the biggest and most progressive names in the business including Wind World, BTM, Tacke, Enron, EDF/Airicole and 2B Energy.

Scott Harper

Having a background in the Scottish National Economic Development Agency, Scott has been in the front line of multiple projects and acquired an exceptionally broad knowledge of the wind energy sector over the past 20 years. His skills include project development, managing technological innovation, undertaking strategic project planning and developing key markets. Scott is widely respected across the industry for his outstanding ability to get things done.

David Keenlyside

David is a Chartered Structural Engineer and brings some 30 years’ experience with unique offshore experience from decades of design, delivery and management of complex projects in a multi-discipline and multi-locational environment delivering cost effective design solutions.  David has 10 years of engineering experience in offshore wind projects.

Tess Blazey

Tess has over 20 years’ experience in the fields of stakeholder relations, communications and events.  Having delivered major international events on the world stage, she has for the last decade managed integrated consultation, communications, and public affairs programmes for nationally significant infrastructure projects.

Floating Wind

Offshore wind is now a cornerstone of the global effort to decarbonise electricity production. Floating Offshore Wind Power is set to revolutionise the offshore wind market over time. Because floating wind power is projected to be more cost effective than conventional offshore wind power, Floventis is focused on making it commercially competitive within the next decade.

The Floating Turbine

A floating wind turbine is, quite simply, a wind turbine mounted on a floating structure. This is a much more flexible solution than a fixed structure as its location is not limited by seabed depth or conditions.

There are over 30 different design concepts for the vessels that will carry the wind turbines.  Floventis is in the process of identifying the most promising of these. We will explore the options in different conditions, water depths and seabed locations to identify optimal solutions in each distinct environment

Floating wind projects offer significant opportunities for local economies as they require local involvement. Assembly, installation and ongoing maintenance operations, are undertaken in local harbours, where they create work and develop expertise

Local Impact

Floating wind projects offer significant opportunities for local economies as they require local involvement. Assembly, installation and ongoing maintenance operations, can be undertaken where local harbour infrastructure is available creating employment opportunities and building local expertise.

Floventis is committed to work with regional and local stakeholders to maximise the opportunity for ports and local businesses to support a sustainable economy.

Projects

Floventis operates in both the UK and US markets, with active involvement and contribution to the development of floating wind markets in both countries. We have adopted a strategic,  stepwise approach, enabling us to advance steadily into larger projects. We believe that a responsible and sustainable approach is key to the long-term success of the floating offshore wind industry, so it is fully integrated into our commercial ambitions. Our current project portfolio includes:

Llŷr

The Llŷr 1 and Llŷr 2 projects, comprising of two separate 100MW sites located south of Pembroke, on the UK’s Welsh coast.

The projects have all come forward through The Crown Estate’s Test & Demonstration leasing opportunity, created to support the development and commercialisation of pioneering, floating wind technologies. Each of the Llŷr projects will test new floating platform and mooring technologies and explore innovative designs, materials and construction approaches.

Cademo

Situated off the coast of Santa Barbara in California, just west of the Vandenberg Space Force Base, CADEMO is a 60 MW demonstration project aimed at kick-starting the emergent marine renewables sector off the west coast of the United States. The project company, CADEMO Corporation, aims to have the project operational by 2026, providing a new source of renewable energy for the California market and a stepping-stone for large-scale commercial projects right along the Californian seaboard.
