Wind Powers Marine Research

Le Four in northern Finistère Windside WS-0,15B installed 2021.

Oy Windside Production Ltd has equipped Marine research centers, lighthouses, and international groups of scientists and other professionals since 1982.

Originally designed and developed for harsh conditions, Windside wind turbines produce clean, grid-free energy even in the most demanding environments. They are corrosion-free and ice resistant, the features of which are a priority for professionals looking for reliable and low-maintenance equipment.

For light houses, the first Windside unit was delivered for Trinity House light house in 1996 and is still operating loyally. Mc Murdo was the first site in Antarctica, where turbines started to operate in 2003. Those turbines are still in operation today.
