RWE and the Swedish Port of Karlshamn have signed an MOU aimed at exploring whether the port could be a suitable harbor for the logistics, installation and O&M activities relating to RWE’s planned Baltic Sea wind projects.
As a first step, the partners plan to map the build outs and investments to facilitate scaling-up the port’s capacity.
“Port capacity and a sustainable supply chain industry are key to the deployment of offshore wind projects,” says RWE’s Matilda Machacek.
“And a new offshore wind farm has the potential to transform a nearby harbor into a dynamic hub that catalyzes significant growth, infrastructure, jobs and economic benefits for the region. That is why we are looking forward to collaborating with the Port of Karlshamn to evaluate their potential as a future offshore wind hub.”
