Equinor's World's Largest Floating Wind Farm Powers North Sea Oil Operations

Equinor and its partners have officially opened the world's largest floating offshore wind farm, Hywind Tampen, in Norway. The wind farm, with 11 turbines, will supply power to nearby oil and gas platforms, reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. It is part of Norway's plan to pivot towards offshore wind and is expected to cover around 35% of the annual power demand for five platforms in the North Sea. The project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 200,000 tonnes annually and is seen as a step towards creating a new industry in Norway. However, some environmentalists argue that Norway should focus on stopping oil and gas production altogether.
