BW Ideol is a leader in floating offshore wind technology. Floating offshore wind allows access to deeper waters, more space, and stronger wind resources. With its patented floating foundation, the Damping Pool®, BW Ideol delivers cutting-edge solutions and proven expertise. The company is a trusted technological provider and a successful co-developer.

In February 2021, BW Offshore became a strategic owner of Ideol S.A., creating a renewable energy company named BW Ideol with market-leading capabilities based on proven technology developed in-house.

BW Ideol is a fully integrated floating offshore wind platform with more than 15 years of experience in the design, execution and development of floating wind projects, based on Ideol S.A.’s patented Damping Pool® floating technology. The company pursues a dual-leg growth strategy, acting both as a floater EPCI and maintenance services provider, and as a wind farm project co-developer. BW Ideol has two full-scale floating offshore wind turbines in operation in France and Japan, and a significant project pipeline, including a 30 MW project under installation in the Mediterranean, a 250 MW project under development in the Mediterranean, and 1 GW under development in Scotland.
