SeaTwirl’s choice to develop vertical axis wind turbines is a major shift from the usual dominance of horizontal axis designs in offshore wind.

While Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) are theoretically more efficient than Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs), the situation offshore may be different.

For deep-water, floating wind farms, SeaTwirl addresses key challenges such as stability, cost, and maintenance, making its approach a strong alternative.

With continued progress in aerodynamics, prototypes, and focused market testing, SeaTwirl has the potential to make a meaningful mark on the renewable energy sector.
