HighWind2023 excursion day to Wind Works Jelsa
This new industry segment requires sites large enough for building and assembling huge energy systems. Berakvam, with its deep fjords and what currently is the largest rock quarry in Europe, is a unique place for developing a suitable facility for the offshore wind industry.
Studies confirm that Wind Works Jelsa can become one of the largest facilities in Europe for foundation-building and assembly of floating wind systems, a one-stop shop prior to tow out and final hook up.
High Wind 2023 offers its participants this unique opportunity to learn more about the project and to visit the site.
If you are curious to join the excursion to WWJ, please get inspired by a previous visit with Giles Dickson and NRK Rogaland
This event is kindly sponsored by: Invest in Rogaland, Ryfylke IKS and DNB.
The HighWind conference and excursion day is presented by the partners: City of Stavanger, The ONS Foundation, The Norwegian Offshore Wind Cluster and Stavanger Chamber of Commerce.
