This seems almost custom made to enable Seasteading.

If this goes into heavy production, then you'll have pre-built spar buoys with built in power systems. Several spar buoys equipped with platforms could be clustered around one wind turbine, using their additional battery storage to store more power.

So, they plan on putting in a 1MWh battery to even out the power production. I often wonder how long the batteries in such a large installation will last. Does anyone here know?
