ISO 50001 is an international standard for an Energy Management System (EnMS) that helps organizations develop an energy policy, set objectives, use energy data in decision making, monitor performance, and improve energy use systematically.

How does ISO 50001 help with EED and EPBD IV compliance?

ISO 50001 supports compliance with the revised Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) by providing a structured energy management system, while EPBD IV remains a separate track focused on building performance, energy labels, and requirements for buildings and building systems.

What are the main benefits of implementing ISO 50001?

Implementing ISO 50001 can help reduce energy consumption and costs, improve decision making, lower greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen resilience to energy price volatility, and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability.

Floating Offshore Wind: Kiwa Portugal Supports the Next Generation of Renewable Energy Infrastructure

With proven experience in WindFloat Atlantic, Kiwa Portugal delivers technical advisory, inspection, HSE, licensing, environmental and digital services for offshore wind projects across the full asset lifecycle.

As offshore wind moves into deeper waters, floating wind technology is becoming one of the most strategic solutions for the future of renewable energy. Floating offshore wind turbines make it possible to harness stronger and more consistent wind resources in locations where fixed-bottom foundations are not technically or economically viable.

Kiwa Portugal is positioned as a reference partner in this transition, combining technical independence, field-proven offshore experience and multidisciplinary services across the entire wind farm lifecycle — from design, fabrication and installation to operation, maintenance and decommissioning.

Through its involvement in pioneering floating wind initiatives such as WindFloat Atlantic, Kiwa has supported the sector with quality assurance, HSE coordination, inspection services, licensing and environmental consulting, and digital safety and asset management solutions.

A Lifecycle Partner for Offshore Wind

Kiwa works with developers, investors, owners, OEMs and contractors that require robust technical verification, independent supervision and compliance with demanding industry standards.

Its offshore wind services include:
Technical advisory and independent audits
Supervision, testing, inspection and certification
Licensing and environmental consulting
HSE management and safety coordination
Training and operational readiness
Digital tools for safety, inspection and asset management

By integrating these services across all project phases, Kiwa helps offshore wind stakeholders reduce risk, protect investments and improve operational performance.

WindFloat Atlantic: A Reference in Floating Wind

Developed off the coast of Portugal, WindFloat Atlantic demonstrates how floating foundation technology can enable wind energy generation in deeper waters. Kiwa has supported the project from the early stages, contributing to quality assurance during construction, offshore safety supervision, inspection activities, HSE systems and digital transformation.

The project reinforces Portugal’s role in the floating offshore wind sector — and highlights Kiwa Portugal’s technical contribution to one of the most relevant floating wind references in Europe.

Contact Kiwa Portugal to learn how our technical, inspection, certification, HSE, environmental and digital solutions can support safer, more reliable and more sustainable offshore wind assets.
