Norwegian developer Deep Wind Offshore is consulting on an up to 6GW floating offshore wind farm planned for the Baltic Sea off Sweden.
The company also plans to develop a fixed-bottom project in the Swedish Bothnian Sea with capacity of roughly 1.75GW.
The consultation on the floating Erik Segersall project is open until 16 May.
Erik Segersall would be located in water depths of 100 metres 30km from Gotska Sandon, 70km from Faro and 40km from the Stockholm archipelago.
It is expected to able to produce 20-26 terrawatt-hours of of electricity a year.
The developers plan a maximum of 240 25MW turbines or 300 20MW machines, according to the consultation document.
Deep Wind Offshore also plans to build a second wind farm, called Olof Skotkonung, in Sweden’s economic zone in the Bothnian Sea.
Olof Skotkonung would produce about 7.5TWh a year – roughly 1.75GW in size – and would have fixed-foundations.
The project would be located just over 40km from Gavle and 65km from Soderhamn.
The water depth in the area for the wind farm’s intended location is approximately 18-75 metres.
A consultation on Olof Skotkonung wind farm will be launched soon.
Deep Wind Offshore is owned by Knutsen, Haugaland Kraft and Sunnhordland Kraftlag.
