Abstract This chapter describes a general methodology in order to calculate the costs of a floating offshore wind farm. It is based on the analysis of its life-cycle cost system (LCS). In this sense, several phases have been defined: conception and definition, design and development, manufacturing, installation, exploitation and dismantling. The calculation of costs of each of these steps gives the total cost of a floating offshore wind farm. The method proposed has been applied to the particular case of the Galician coast, where a floating offshore wind farm could be installed due to the great offshore wind potential and the depth of its waters. Results indicate that the most important cost in the life cycle of a floating offshore wind farm is the manufacturing cost. It is due to the fact that the floating offshore wind platforms and the offshore wind turbines have a high cost. The methodology proposed can be used by investors in the future to know the real costs of a floating offshore wind farm.
