Gazelle Wind Power

Founded in 2024, Gazelle Wind Power is a private headquartered in Viana Do Castelo, Portugal with approximately 10-50 employees specializing in Wind.

Gazelle Wind Power was founded to accelerate the transition to renewable energies, developing a revolutionary floating offshore wind platform that addresses key challenges in the industry. The platform features a unique design utilizing a central counterweight connected to tripodal arms anchored to the seabed, enabling horizontal and vertical movement to minimize tilting. The system separates buoyancy and stability functions, delivering a compact, lightweight hull compared to traditional semi-submersible models. Gazelle's dynamic mooring system offers a smaller footprint, lower loads, and reduced anchor requirements versus tension leg systems while maintaining design compliance with floating turbine manufacturers' specifications. The company is developing the Nau Azul project, a 2 MW floating wind demonstrator off Aguçadoura, Portugal, and secured TUPEM authorization in April 2025 to launch this demonstrator. Based in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, Gazelle brings together world-leading experts in naval architecture, marine engineering, and energy innovation.
