Building the elevating platform the wind industry needs.
CLS Wind is commercializing the next-generation foundation-mounted elevating platform for onshore and offshore wind. US parent (CLS Wind, Inc., Delaware) with a Scottish operating subsidiary (CLS Wind (UK) Ltd) based in Edinburgh.
The opportunity
The heavy-lift bottleneck is CLS Wind's market. As turbines scale past 15 MW and move into deeper water, the vessels and cranes that install and service them are becoming the binding constraint on the industry's growth.
Scarce heavy lift
Only a handful of vessels worldwide can perform the largest offshore lifts. They are expensive, in short supply, and booked years ahead, and the constraint tightens as turbines grow.
A recurring service market
A large and growing installed fleet is reaching the age at which major components fail and must be replaced. Major component replacement is the sized core of the market; the same platform also serves installation, re-powering and decommissioning.
Independently sized
The opportunity has been independently sized as a multi-billion-pound offshore market in a Scottish Enterprise-funded study.
