Marine Power Systems (MPS) and Cierco Energy signed a Memorandum of Understanding covering the potential deployment of MPS's PelaFlex floating wind platform technology at one of the Llŷr 1 or Llŷr 2 floating offshore wind demonstration project sites in the Celtic Sea. The MoU was described as a first step towards demonstrating PelaFlex at a Llŷr site, supporting technology selection for the project's floating turbine support structures. The agreement covers collaboration on platform selection, design interface work and deployment planning, but does not constitute a supply or fabrication contract. A formal foundation supplier appointment, with associated commercial terms and scope of supply, remains contingent on subsequent project decisions, consent progression and final investment decision for the demonstration programme. The partnership was announced during the early-development phase of the Llŷr demonstration project, with Cierco Energy acting as the developer and MPS as the floating platform technology provider.
