Statkraft has submitted a planning application for the 2.1 GW Baltic Offshore Delta North bottom-fixed offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea.
Located in Sweden’s economic zone, the wind farm would be located 100 kilometers east of Stockholm and 55 kilometers east of Sandhamn island.
The proposed wind farm includes 105 bottom-fixed wind turbines. The company says Delta North will not be visible from the mainland and the inner archipelago, where the majority of Stockholm County’s population lives.
“Progressing our Swedish offshore wind portfolio in a market where Statkraft has a strong market presence is an important part in realizing Statkraft’s offshore wind ambition to develop six to 8 GW of offshore wind by 2040,” says David Flood, Statkraft’s SVP of Offshore Wind.
“Building on our Beta offshore wind farm application last year, the Delta application is one of more to come as we seek to position Sweden as a key offshore wind market in Northern Europe.”
Statkraft has submitted an application to build and operate the wind farm to the Ministry of Climate and Economic Affairs as per the law governing Sweden’s economic zone. After submission, the government will evaluate Statkraft’s application and seek input from consultation with several agencies before making a decision.
