Triton Anchor – The Future of Offshore Wind Anchoring
Offshore wind is a driving force in the global clean energy transition, yet one of its most fundamental components—anchoring—remains an outdated, inefficient bottleneck, accounting for up to 11% of total project CapEx. Floating wind farms require robust, cost-effective, and adaptable anchoring systems, but the industry still relies on heavy, overengineered solutions adapted from oil and gas, which are expensive, complex to deploy, and ill-suited for large-scale wind projects.
These legacy anchors inflate costs, prolong installation timelines, and struggle with diverse seabed conditions. Additionally, their environmental impact and navigation concerns make them less acceptable to regulators and local stakeholders. As offshore wind scales up, the industry urgently needs an anchoring system that is flexible, cost-efficient, and compatible with all mooring configurations.
Triton Anchor delivers that solution. A portfolio company of Triton Systems, it has developed a family of lightweight, robotically-installed, and modular anchor systems built specifically for the offshore wind industry. With a patented, platform-agnostic design, Triton Anchor reduces costs by up to 50% compared to conventional anchors. Its versatile system works across all soil types and mooring configurations—from catenary to tension leg—while localized manufacturing minimizes logistics and environmental impact.
Greenbackers is proud to introduce Triton Anchor, a next-generation anchoring provider offering offshore developers a smarter, more sustainable way to reduce costs, speed up deployment, and scale global wind capacity.
Why Triton Anchor:
- Innovative technology: Triton’s anchor system is robotically installed, designed for all seabed types, and built with a modular, patented structure that simplifies deployment and manufacturing. The platform supports any mooring style and is dramatically more flexible and adaptable than legacy systems. Local supply chains further reduce transport costs and delays, while the system’s silent, efficient design addresses environmental and navigational concerns head-on.
- Commercial traction: Triton is now commercial stage, with revenues rising from around $0.5M in 2023 to around $2M in 2024, and projected $6M in 2025. It is on track for $8M in 2026 bookings, with cashflow-positive operations projected by 2027. The company maintains 36–38% gross margins, a rarity in heavy infrastructure, and is currently active in the US, Europe, and Asia, with a newly opened facility in Aberdeen and growing demand from developers for early delivery of anchors.
- Market potential: The global offshore wind market is experiencing explosive growth, with over 30 major developers actively seeking cost-effective anchoring solutions. As the industry shifts toward floating wind platforms, demand for scalable, adaptable anchoring will continue to rise. Triton’s direct sales model, local supply chain approach, and anchor leasing services position it as a key enabler in this fast-growing market.
