Ideol

Ideol, based in La Ciotat (France), was created in 2010 with the aim of developing both technically and economically viable floating foundation solutions for the offshore wind industry. Recipient of numerous innovation and entrepreneurship awards, the company benefits from the support of a large and prestigious panel of public and private investors.

Its industry-changing and patented “Damping Pool”® design is compatible with all existing offshore wind turbines. Maximizing local content and optimizing the entire process from construction to installation, maintenance and decommissioning have been the company’s key priorities since day one. Its particularly cost-competitive solution allows for the development of projects without any water depth or soil constraints on sites benefiting from the best available wind resources.

Benefiting from the experience and know-how of a fully integrated team of 60 experts and engineers coming from the offshore oil & gas and renewables industries, the company is currently working on several projects across the globe including France’s first offshore wind turbine (the FLOATGEN project, currently under construction), Japan’s last floating offshore wind demonstrator scheduled for commissioning in 2018, the French Mediterranean’s first floating offshore wind farm as well as a pipeline of 1.5 GW of floating projects in the UK and 1 GW in Ireland, positioning Ideol as a leader in this booming market.
