A floating connector of an offshore energy device and a method for connecting the floating connector is provided. The floating connector includes a buoy having a long spar like floater, where the buoy provides buoyancy to the floating connector. The floating connector further includes at least two cables for connecting to the offshore energy device. The floating connector also includes a joint box for coupling to the offshore energy device and for providing an electrical connection of the at least two cables to a switchgear of the offshore energy device. When the joint box is coupled to the offshore energy device, an electrical circuit with the at least two cables is completed through the offshore energy device via the switchgear.
