Landinfra Energy is advancing its offshore wind power initiative by starting the consultation process for the Falkenberg-Halmstad project, located off the coast of Halland, Sweden.
The planned wind farm is expected to consist of up to 80 turbines, with an estimated production of 5 TWh annually.
As part of the consultation process, Landinfra is expected to continue its dialogue with authorities and stakeholders in determining the project’s best path forward. A key focus will be defining the scope of the studies and assessments required for the project’s environmental impact assessment and permitting process, with the procedure expected to take up to three years.
“Through dialogue with relevant authorities and stakeholders, we aim to ensure the best possible conditions for increased renewable electricity production in Sweden, supporting the green transition,” says Marcus Landelin, CEO and co-founder of Landinfra.
“Our ambition is to realize as many of our offshore projects as possible. All of them are located in areas that the Swedish Energy Agency, along with eight other authorities, has identified as suitable for wind power.”
Due to its location in relatively shallow waters close to shore, the Falkenberg-Halmstad project allows for the use of bottom-fixed foundations and allows for what the company calls a reasonable cost for grid connection.
Landinfra’s portfolio has a total potential capacity of around 6 GW installed.
