Deep Wind Offshore has applied to develop and operate the Erik Segersäll wind farm, a floating offshore project outside Stockholm in the Baltic Sea.
In the project’s first phase, electricity production is expected to have an annual 6.5 TWh capacity. The wind farm as a whole has a potential total installed output of 4.5 GW, or 19.5 TWh annually.
The project is the company’s second application for the establishment of offshore wind in Sweden. The company says its first application, for the bottom-fixed offshore wind farm Olof Skötkonung in the Bothnian Sea, has been forwarded from the government to the county board in Uppsala.
“After three years in the Swedish market, we are very pleased to have submitted applications for one fixed and one floating project,” adds Knut Vassbotn, CEO of Deep Wind Offshore. “We have already reached an important milestone in the first project, which confirms our strong pipeline.”
