Power production from wind energy at sea is a major new industrial opportunity for Norway
Existing commercial solutions for power production from offshore wind are based on traditional (land-based) wind turbine concepts installed on the seabed relatively near the coast and in shallow waters. Floating solutions for deeper waters are being developed, but are still in the experimental phase. At NORCOWE, key industry players and research groups fromNorway pool their efforts with leading stakeholders from Denmark
The centre will give priority to activities involving technological and environmental challenges within five main areas:
The application to the Research Council of Norway gives the basis for the activities in Norcowe (budgets have been reduced by 25% and adjustments will be made accordingly).

The centre will give priority to activities involving technological and environmental challenges within five main areas:
- Wind and sea modelling
- Technology and new concepts
- Localisation and operations
- Wind farm optimisation
- Safety and the environment
