Wind West, a Nova Scotia–led project to develop offshore wind farms and connect their electricity to customers, is a key component of this Strategy. Wind West aims to generate enough zero-emissions electricity to power Nova Scotia’s entire population and export additional power beyond Nova Scotia via new transmission infrastructure.

Before wind turbines can be built, companies need reliable information about the ocean and wind conditions. That is why $5 million of this $100-million commitment will go to the deployment of floating light detection and ranging (FLiDAR)–mounted buoys. By measuring offshore wind speeds and ocean conditions, these buoys will provide data to help proponents prepare for the upcoming project’s Call for Bids, which will be launched by the Canada–Nova Scotia Offshore Energy Regulator in winter 2027.

While FliDAR isn't subsea, would Kraken be eventually involved to assess subsea conditions for offshore turbine construction?

Apologies if the news is too far away from Kraken itself. I'm new to share anything here. I aim add something to the community.
