A Swedish energy firm is planning to create multi-turbine floating wind power platforms in UK waters. Hexicon last month announced it had raised S1.6M through a rights issue and planned to use the cash to demonstrate its innovative platforms. Although the first floating turbine was put into operation near Norway five years ago, and other have followed around the world, Hexicon's plan is to build the first multi-turbine platforms. Scotland last year moved to attract floating wind turbine schemes to its water when it boosted subsidy levels. Ministers said in June 2013 that 3.5 Renewable Obligation Certificates per Mwh would be available to such pilot projects.
