About
Founded in 2013, PelaStar is a private headquartered in Seattle, United States specializing in Wind.
PelaStar, LLC was formed in 2013 by parent company Glosten to design and commercialize floating wind turbine foundations. The company developed a tension-leg platform (TLP) technology initially conceived in 2006, engineered for deep-water deployment where traditional fixed-bottom foundations are unsuitable. PelaStar's integrated design minimizes structural weight, operational costs, and environmental impact while maximizing developer flexibility. The platform features redundant tendons and has been validated through multiple research grants and partnerships with GE, Alstom, and NREL. The company received Phase Two recognition in the US Department of Energy's FLOWIN Prize, confirming viability for industrialized manufacturing and gigawatt-scale deployment.
