NorgesGruppen’s ASKO Fornybar is collaborating with Norseman Wind on the possibility of an up to 1400MW offshore wind farm in Norway.
The project would be in the Sorlig Nordsjo 2 licensing area off southern Norway.
NorgesGruppen’s share of the project would be about 400MW, the company said.
It added that other “large companies” are involved in the consortium to develop the project, but they are currently undisclosed.
The 2591 square-metre Sorlig Nordsjo 2 area borders Danish north sea and would be suitable for fixed and floating projects, according to the Norwegian government.
NorgesGruppen said the project it is involved in is likely to have fixed bottom foundations.
The government will launch the licensing process for Sorlig Nordsjo 2 and Utsira North, which is to the west of Haugesund, in the new year.
NorgesGruppen said it expects other players will compete for the licence.
NorgesGruppen chief executive NorgesGruppen Runar Hollevik said: “NorgesGruppen’s ambition is to become climate neutral (and so) production of clean energy is necessary to achieve our goals.”
The company has so far invested in solar, hydrogen and onshore wind.
