The Kennebec Journal has a story about a firm currently working with UMaine’s AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center which was awarded a $500,000 grant from the Maine Technology Institute. WindFloat Maine, a subsidiary of Seattle-based Principle Power Inc., received the grant to help fund the development of the company’s WindFloat, a floating foundation for deepwater off-shore wind turbines. Principle Power is a member of DeepCwind, the UMaine-led consortium of private and nonprofit companies working on deepwater off-shore floating wind technology.
