Our Commitments

Project Benefits

Each year, WFA supplies 25,000 Portuguese households with clean energy and avoid the emission of 33,000 tons of CO2.

Being a pre-commercial project, WFA holds the objective to be the concrete realization of a proven floating offshore wind technology and represents a step towards large scale commercial floating projects with high impacts on transition towards renewable energy.

Ethics

WFA applies strict standards in terms of ethics and transparency, in complete respect of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption codes of its sponsors.

WFA complies with transparent supply chain processes and maintains values of integrity in all its relationships with stakeholders.

Environment

WFA commits to improving the environmental performance of the windfarm at each stage of the life cycle of the project, through these approaches in particular:

with its suppliers, assessing for their CO2 emission reduction policy in their own scope,
being a low impact technology: floating technology through its installation methods and anchored to the depth of the sea and not fixed, has a lower impact on seabed and biodiversity,
implementing measures such as to minimize the impact on migratory birds, with bird radar that allow for investigations regarding the barrier effect and risk of collision with elements of the wind farm.

Communities

WFA is working with local communities, mainly through the municipality, and other authorities such as the Port Captaincy and the Coast Guard, etc.), but also universities, schools and training centers. All activities bear the objective of raising awareness and educating on the benefits of renewable energy and the energy transition, as well as the floating technology innovation.

In addition, in 2022, WindFloat Atlantic will take part in Ocean Winds’ educational program “Wind Experts”. The objective is for local schools around Viana do Castelo to learn about climate change, renewable energy and offshore wind.
