What Entrion Wind does
Entrion Wind is a pre-commercial offshore wind technology company developing the Fully Restrained Platform (FRP) Monopile, a foundation system that combines a conventional monopile with a proprietary Top Mooring Assembly (TMA) to extend the practical operating depth of fixed-bottom monopiles from approximately 50-60 meters into the 60-120 meter water depth band. The TMA connects and tensions mooring lines to the monopile with 500-ton pre-tensioning and 1,400-ton break load capacity, increasing lateral stiffness without requiring specialized installation vessels; the architecture has been validated for turbines up to 22 MW and operates within existing monopile fabrication and mooring supply chains. The company pursues this through technology licensing combined with engineering and EPC services, offering feasibility studies, FEED studies, and demonstration partnerships to offshore wind developers as the front-end sales motion that precedes commercial deployment targeted for 2027.
Entrion Wind targets offshore wind project developers facing a tightening pipeline of feasible shallower-water sites and the cost step-change to jackets or floating foundations beyond 60 meters of water. A secondary customer segment is the offshore wind supply chain — monopile fabricators (EEW, Sif Netherlands), installers (Frigstad W90, Global Maritime), mooring suppliers (FibreMax, Acteon/InterMoor), and engineering firms (Techano, Panterra, C2WIND, Empire Engineering) — which are aligned to FRP through a sequence of MoUs signed 2022-2025. The company cites 25-50% Capex reductions versus alternative foundation solutions and €5.5-9.6/MWh LCOE savings versus jackets at 60-120m depth.
The company is privately held, headquartered in Houston, with its operational and engineering hub in Kristiansand, Norway, and a UK subsidiary (Entrion Wind UK Ltd.) established in Aberdeen in June 2025. It employs 1-10 people and has raised limited disclosed capital: a NOK 6.2 million (~USD 0.6 million) Innovation Norway development grant awarded June 2023 and a previously disclosed $725,250 raise in January 2023. The team is led by co-founders Eivind Johnsen (CEO, ex-DNV, ex-KWI/ABB), Li Lee (VP R&D, ex-Shell, ex-Atlantia/SBM, ex-KBR), and Tomas Fertig (VP Business Development, ex-Seidor US), supported by a five-member advisory board including senior executives from Aker, Oceaneering, COWI, and HCSS.

Entrion Wind product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Entrion Wind develops and licenses the Fully Restrained Platform (FRP) Monopile, a patented offshore wind foundation system that combines traditional monopile technology with offshore mooring systems and a proprietary Top Mooring Assembly (TMA) to extend monopile deployment from 50-60 meters to 100-120 meter water depths. The company licenses this patented design and provides feasibility studies, FEED studies, and demonstration project services to offshore wind developers and foundation fabricators, with commercial rollout planned for 2027.
Product overview
Entrion Wind offers a unified product portfolio centered on the Fully-Restrained Platform (FRP) Monopile foundation system for offshore wind turbines. The core offering is the FRP Monopile, which extends traditional monopile technology from approximately 50-60 meter depths to 100-120 meters. This is achieved by combining the monopile with a proprietary Top Mooring Assembly (TMA) component that enhances structural stiffness and stability through mooring tensioning. The company provides feasibility studies and demonstration partnerships to validate the technology, targeting commercial rollout in 2027.
