This quite development in technology from fixed system and low wind yields.

The new technology could allow Britain to harness the consistently higher wind speeds available over deeper water

Are capable working in much higher winds than ever before. Make the windfarms more sustainable with less subsidies much cheaper to erect and build as they can towed from port to location rather need to built on site.

Can either float or even fly

Portugal already planned for larger scale demonstrator of offshore farm.
