Considered as the first floating offshore wind farm of continental Europe, the WindFloat Atlantic project is located off the coast of Viana do Castelo in Portugal.

20km of electric cable have been installed to connect the coast to the three turbines, which has a total capacity of 25MW. That’s equivalent to the energy consumed by 60,000 homes in one year! Each turbine is 30 metres high. What a major project!

Initiated in 2006, the ITER project is one of the most ambitious energy projects around the world!
35 nations are collaborating to build the world’s largest tokamak in Southern France. About 3,000 people are involved in this project. The machine has the capacity to produce 500MW of fusion power!
