ELICAN is a 3-year project supported by the EC H2020 program beginning in January 2016. It is aimed at designing, building, certifying and fully demonstrating in operative environment a deep-water substructure prototype supporting a Gamesa´s 5MW offshore wind turbine, to be installed in PLOCAN test site (Canary Islands). It is the first self-installing bottom-fixed offshore wind turbine in all Southern Europe and the first one worldwide to be commissioned with no need of heavy-lift vessels.
