Swedish offshore wind energy company Hexicon, which recently announced an agreement with steel maker SSAB to develop offshore wind power platforms in deep waters, informs it is to build its first reference power plant in the Baltic Sea.

“This new 11.4 MSEK (1.24 MEUR) capital will enable us to intensify our design work and the formation of a Swedish consortium that will build our first platform,” said Henrik Baltscheffsky, CEO of Hexicon.

Hexicon’s innovative and patented floating platforms are fitted with several wind turbines. The platform turns automatically into the wind while harnessing excellent conditions far offshore for the generation of renewable energy.

The Hexicon platform is based on scale of economy and profitable energy production. The technology enables efficient wind park configuration in locations where winds are stronger and more stable, and where the visual and environmental impact is minimal.

Hexicon AB was founded in 2009 and is a design and engineering company, which provides know how, solutions and IP rights. The Hexicon solution offers wind energy production on the oceans, in locations not normally suitable due to sea depth and/or seabed conditions. The innovative and patented turning platform concept was initiated by people from the marine industry.
