Yeah, I remembered it as 4 turbines, but it looks like it's 5. So as I said, it's a test farm. But yes, it's real, production-size turbines, not small scale models. I should have clarified that, sorry.

I don't think anyone is going to build a major farm until this one has been running for a couple of years. And they've figured out how to cut costs. Happy to be proven wrong, of course. :)

Statoil isn't the only company working on floating foundations, by the way, although I think they are by far farthest along when it comes to actually putting a big one into production.

For instance, the former CTO of Siemens Wind Power is working on a design. He's going for standard components and as cheap as possible. I wouldn't be surprised to see that in a test production in a couple of years.
