On 20 September 2022, the Norwegian Water Resources & Energy Directorate (NVE) approved an expansion of the Marine Energy Test Centre (METCentre) at Karmøy, licensing four new offshore wind turbine test slots and extending the centre’s concession to allow testing of a total of six floating units (plus the separately consented Zefyros unit), thereby providing the regulatory basis for installing additional floating turbines by 2026.
