New-model offshore wind developer Corio Generation has expanded its international portfolio ambitions with plans to bid to build floating projects in the Celtic Sea off the UK south-west with specialist outfit Morwind.

The company, which was spun out of investment house Macquarie’s Green Investment Group in March and currently has a pipeline of over 20GW, said the tie-up would combine its “international industrial expertise and access to capital with Morwind’s specialist regional knowledge and strong local stakeholder relationships to identify and invest in new [project] opportunities in the region”.
