Valorous
300MW early commercial project in the Celtic Sea
Valorous is the second floating offshore wind project being progressed by Blue Gem Wind in the Celtic Sea with the proposed site approximately 50km South West of the Pembrokeshire coastline. This project follows on from Erebus, the 96 MW test and demonstration project that is already in development.

Stepping stones to assist the local supply chain
We believe a stepping stone approach to floating wind in the Celtic Sea will provide the UK supply chain with the best opportunity to engage in this new exciting sector, maximising local supply chain content and jobs. This means starting with smaller demonstration projects before moving incrementally to larger commercial scale projects in the 2030s.
Blue Gem Wind’s second project in the Celtic sea, 300MW commercial project, Valorous.
The project, named after the famous ship, built in Pembroke Dock in 1816 will become one of the largest floating offshore wind projects in the world when constructed in 2028. Please visit our planning page for more information.
HMS Valorous was the second ship of her name to serve in the Royal Navy. She was built at the Royal Navy Dockyard in Pembroke Dock and launched together with her sister ship, HMS Ariadne, on 10 February 1816.
HMS Valorous was a 20-gun Hermes-class post ship and was placed in commission in 1821 for service abroad in the Caribbean and Newfoundland. Two of her captains were forced to resign their commands during this time and the ship was placed in reserve in 1826 until she was broken up in 1829.
We are currently in the project planning and design phase meaning current opportunities for supply chain are focused in this area. We are working with development agencies to explore how they can be part of this exciting new low carbon industry moving forwards.
