Floating turbines are installed on a platform that floats on the surface of the water and is attached to the seabed by mooring lines, allowing them to be installed in very deep water. At present, bottom-fixed turbines are much more common, but floating wind turbines are expected to really take off over the next decade. Like their onshore \u201ccousins\u201d, offshore wind turbines consist of a mast equipped with a rotor, usually with three blades. They convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy, which is sent to a substation at sea and then, via underwater cables, to an electrical substation on land, in turn connected to the electricity grid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_c91e253fa047add03a0209babf4620ba\"\n     class=\"cp-media-full-screen teq-container relative nj-aura nj-aura--white \">\n    <div class=\"teq-grid  \">\n        <div class=\"col-span-12  lg:px-0 relative\">\n                        <div class=\"teq-grid\">\n                <div class=\"col-span-12\">\n                    <div class=\"media-wrapper relative\">\n\n                                                                                                            <button type=\"button\"\n                                        aria-label=\"Zoom on picture\"\n                                        aria-controls=\"modal-zoom\"\n                                        aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n                                        aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                                        class=\"absolute top-[4px] right-[4px] lg:right-[24px] lg:top-[24px]  nj-icon-btn nj-bg--white nj-color--primary nj-icon-btn--lg open-modal-zoom\">\n                                    <span aria-hidden=\"true\"\n                                          class=\"material-icons nj-icon-material nj-btn__icon nj-btn__icon--before\">fullscreen<\/span>\n                                <\/button>\n                                                    \n                                                    <picture class=\"flex\">\n                                <source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\"\n                                        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/EolienneEnMer-16-9-EN-001.jpg\"\/>\n                                <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\n                                        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/EolienneEnMer-16-9-EN-001.jpg\"\/>\n\n                                <!--TODO AMBRE if zoom ajotuer classe : open-modal-zoom cursor-pointer  -->\n                                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                        class=\"w-full object-fit-cover\"\n                                        src=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/EolienneEnMer-16-9-EN-001.jpg\"\n                                        alt=\"Diagram illustrating the process of how offshore wind farms generate electricity.\"\n                                \/>\n                            <\/picture>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                                        <div class=\"transcription hidden\" data-video=\"\"\n                         data-video-webm=\"\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                    <p class=\"relative nj-text--xs italic mt-8 nj-color--tertiary text-end\"\n                       data-trad>\n                                            <\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_32c0c540dd9a907aff0c4a3a9750a0ef\" class=\"cp-wysiwyg teq-container nj-aura nj-aura--white\">\n    <div class=\"teq-grid \">\n        <div class=\"col-span-6 xl:col-start-2 xl:col-span-10 lg:col-start-1 lg:col-span-12 \">\n                        <div class=\"teq-wysiwyg\">\n                <div data-trad data-trad-html><h2>Offshore wind turbines: power and stability<\/h2>\n<p>Specially designed to withstand corrosion and currents, offshore wind turbines are generally larger than their onshore counterparts. Projects are currently being studied to build offshore wind turbines over 200 metres high with blades around a hundred metres long! The added bonus is that these giants benefit from winds that are more constant and more powerful, since they are not slowed down by obstacles. They start rotating as soon as wind speeds of 10 km\/h are reached and stop automatically for safety reasons whenever they exceed 108 km\/h (30 m\/s).\u00a0As such, offshore wind turbines produce twice as much electricity as their land-based counterparts.<\/p>\n<h2>A bright future for offshore wind power<\/h2>\n<p>Although Denmark was a pioneer, with its first offshore wind farm commissioned in 1991, this 100% green energy is now being developed all around the globe. In France, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecologie.gouv.fr\/eolien-en-mer-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seven bottom-fixed offshore wind turbine projects<\/a> are currently in the pipeline, while three floating offshore wind turbine pilots have been launched. In 2022, Scotland launched the largest offshore wind turbine auction in the world: more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crownestatescotland.com\/scotlands-property\/offshore-wind\/current-projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">25 gigawatts<\/a> were allocated to future sites, i.e. nearly half of France\u2019s nuclear capacity. Things are also moving fast in the USA and Asia, as well as in Europe, which is still ahead of the game: the region produces more than 80% of the world&#8217;s wind power, which currently stands at 30 gigawatts*. So the future looks bright for the sector: it is estimated that by 2030, the power generated by offshore wind turbines will have increased five to sevenfold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Power to <\/strong><a
