BLUE H PRESS
RELEASE
Blue H's
GEOMA Project selected by Italian Government
Project
GEOMA, a consortium led
by Blue H has been selected as one of thirty recipients
of Italian public funding under the "Industria 2015" a
program announced by Mr. Claudio Scajola of the Ministry of Economic
Development. This Italian based project plans to develop a hybrid
concrete/steel 3.5 MW floating wind turbine ideal for the deep waters of
the Mediterranean Sea.
The consortium which is led by
Blue H R&D from Genoa, consists of Ansaldo
Sistemi Industriali (Milan), Blue H Sky Saver
(Santoramo in Colle), Cesi Ricerca (Milan),
EADS Astrium (Parigi), Progeco (Rosignano),
Società Gomma
Antivibrante (Milan), TRE Tozzi Renewable Energy
(Ravenna), and Università Federico II di Napoli
(Naples).
Project GEOMA
aims to create an integrated solution for a floating wind turbine able
to bring down the overall cost of electricity generation in line with
economics of onshore wind energy generation but without the problem of
negative visual impact.
The Blue H Consortium is one of two
wind energy projects within Industria 2015 which have been selected by a
panel of experts. The Italian government is investing in companies
that in turn invest in high quality solutions for the environment.
Martin Jakubowski, Technology
Architect of Blue H said "This Industria 2015 Award represents an
extremely important endorsement of Blue H's floating wind energy
solution for the deep waters of the Mediterranean Sea and other oceans.
Italy, for instance, has over 8,000 kilometers of coast line. Most
of the good wind sites are in deep water far from the coast.
Blue h installed the world's first
floating wind turbine in the summer of 2008 in the Strait of Otranto,
opposite the municipality of Tricase in Puglia, Southern Italy.
The company is currently building the first operational 2 MW unit in
Brindisi, which it expects to deploy at the same site in the Southern
Adriatic Sea in 2009, the first in the planned 90 MW Tricase offshore
wind farm, located more than 20 kilometers from the beautiful coast line
of Puglia.
