Arenso has been assigned to prepare Basic Design for the project, which could host approximately 80 turbines.

Finnish wind energy service provider Arenso and Estonia’s Utilitas Wind have signed an agreement to cooperate on the 1200MW Saare-Liivi Offshore Wind Park project.
Arenso has been assigned to prepare Basic Design for the project, which could host approximately 80 turbines.
This work will be completed by the end of July 2025.
The purpose of Arenso’s and Utilitas Wind’s co-operation is to prepare a Basic Design package for future design phases, permitting tasks, planning of construction work and operation.
“We believe Estonia holds great potential for offshore wind energy.
“Developing offshore wind power would help lower electricity prices, enhance supply security by reducing reliance on costly and polluting fossil fuels, and significantly contribute to reducing the production deficit across the Baltic region.
“Our collaboration with Arenso will enable us to identify the best technical solutions and advance the project according to the planned timeline,” said Andrus Zavadskis, Member of the Board of Utilitas Wind.
He added: “Arenso brings its proven, hands-on expertise of Northern Baltic Sea offshore wind energy to the Saare-Liivi project, laying the groundwork for a technically optimized and competitive wind farm implementation.
Esa Holttinen, Business Director at Arenso, said: “Utilitas Wind, as a leading wind energy player in the Baltic states, is a strategically important customer for Arenso.
“The agreement is also a ground-breaking step in importing Finnish knowhow to offshore wind projects globally.”
Approximately 80 wind turbines are planned to be erected in the first stage of the development.
