Entrion Wind Secures Second Patent for its Deep Water Offshore Wind Technology

Latest milestone supports Entrion Wind’s global efforts to advance offshore wind into deeper waters with the favorable economics of monopile technology

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KRISTIANSAND, NORWAY – May 30, 2025 – Entrion Wind has been granted a patent by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO) for its Fully Restrained Platform (FRP) monopile—a step forward in advancing offshore wind energy technology for deeper waters. This is the second patent to be issued out of six applications filed globally, underscoring the company’s momentum in securing international protection for its pioneering design.

“This recognition from NIPO reinforces the strength of our engineering and the growing relevance of the FRP monopile in global offshore wind,” said Jon Hovik, VP of Engineering and Operations at Entrion Wind. “Our technology addresses a critical industry need—enabling the use of cost-effective monopiles at much greater depths than previously possible.”

Entrion Wind’s patented FRP monopile design extends the use of traditional monopiles to water depths of up to 120 meters, unlocking new possibilities for offshore wind development in deeper waters. At the core of this innovation is the proprietary Top Mooring Assembly (TMA), which enhances lateral stiffness and overall stability without adding complexity to installation or maintenance—all while leveraging existing technologies and supply chains to support cost-effective, scalable deployment.

Entrion Wind continues to advance field demonstrations and feasibility studies with development partners across various marine environments. These collaborations allow developers to evaluate site-specific performance, model LCOE improvements, and identify risks and opportunities for upcoming offshore wind projects.

The company is on track for a commercial launch in 2027, with a goal to deploy 750 MW annually by 2030. For more information on Entrion Wind’s innovations and demonstration opportunities, visit www.entrionwind.com.

Patent No. 20230802 issued by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO).
