Projects
OIPS
Offshore Island Porto Santo
The OIPS project is a consortium, which is based in a floating offshore wind energy in hybridization with aquaculture located in Porto Santo, in the Madeira archipelago.
The project has 20 years lifetime and the objectives are to develope, fabricate and operate a full scale floating offshore wind multi-turbine platform with an innovative automatized aquaculture system.
OIPS project has recieved funds from IDERAM and is currently under development.
OIPS added value:
- Sustainable Development: Island decarbonization
- Self efficient food stream
- Access to Wind yield areas
- Energy transition forwards a self-sustainable region
