Japan has just marked a historic milestone with the commercial launch of the Goto City Offshore Wind Power Generation Project (16.8 MW), featuring Spar foundation. Developed by Toda Corporation, these structures move away from traditional all-steel designs. Instead, they use hybrid concrete-steel approach.

Main advantages of using concrete are:
Stability: The concrete base acts as a heavy ballast, lowering the center of gravity to withstand typhoons.
Local Economy: Concrete is cast locally, reducing reliance on global steel and boosting regional industry.
Longevity: Naturally corrosion-resistant, concrete ensures a 50+ year lifespan with minimal maintenance.

At Windcrete, we’ve seen this trend coming. This commercial success validates the core principles of our Windcrete technology: that the future of deep-water wind relies on the durability and cost-efficiency of concrete.

The era of floating wind is moving from prototypes to commercial reality, and the concrete spar is leading the way.
