Oil giant Equinor is behind the project, but renewables still make up only a tiny fraction of its total energy production.

Fossil fuel giant Equinor is behind the huge Hywind Tampern farm which, with 88 megawatts (MW) of capacity, will generate energy to supply nearby oil and gas platforms.

    We’re doing the same thing here in Texas. Using the electricity from all those Corpus Christi and Permian Basin farms to make drilling and pumping cheaper.

    We refuse to build HVDC or other high efficiency grid cables into the major metro areas. We refuse to sell our electricity surplus onto the national grid. We only want to use it for mining more fossil fuels.
