The Swedish renewable project developer OX2 has decided to develop a 1.9 GW offshore energy hub off Blekinge, in the southern Baltic Sea (Sweden). The Neptunus project would include offshore wind turbines with a combined capacity of 1,900 MW and would produce around 8 TWh/year of electricity, part of which would be converted to hydrogen thanks to an offshore electrolyser (up to 225 kt/year). OX2 plans to submit an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) by 2024 and the energy hub could be operational in the early 2030s.
OX2 has an offshore wind portfolio of 13.9 GW (end of 2022). The group plans a 5.5 GW offshore wind project in the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone between the islands of Gotland and Öland, a 1.8 GW offshore wind project (Triton) off Ystad, and a 1.7 GW offshore wind project (Galatea-Galene) off Halland (southern Sweden).
