The renewable project developer Deep Wind Offshore, a joint venture of Knutsen Group, Octopus Energy, SKL and Haugaland Kraft, has submitted an application to the Swedish Government to build and operate a 1.5 GW floating offshore wind project off the city of Stockholm, in eastern Sweden.
The Erik Segersäll floating offshore wind park would be built about 74 km east of Nynäshamn in the Baltic Sea and could supply electricity consumers on the mainland and the island of Gotland. The 1.5 GW capacity represents the first phase of the project, which is expected to produce around 6.5 TWh/year of electricity once completed. The wind project is located in an area that enables a potential total installed output of 4.5 GW through several phases of development, which would give a total power generation of up to 19.5 TWh/year, corresponding to the consumption of the Stockholm region.
In Sweden, Deep Wind Offshore is also developing the 2 GW Sigrid Storråda project and the 1.5 GW Olof Skötkonung project, which are both fixed-bottom offshore wind projects.
