The renewable energy company Skyborn Renewables has submitted a permit application to the Swedish government to build a 3.9 GW offshore wind project on the Eystrasalt Bank in the Bothnian Sea, approximately 60 km outside of Hudiksvall (central Sweden).
The Eystrasalt Offshore project will be Sweden's largest wind park by surface area and will produce an estimated 15 TWh/year of power. The project could contribute about 10% of Sweden's current electricity use. Construction is expected to start in the early 2030s and the park will gradually be put into operation as the wind turbines are installed. The project as a whole is expected to be completed in the mid-2030s.
Skyborn Renewables is currently developing three other offshore wind projects in Sweden totalling nearly 7 GW. Sweden has issued a roadmap for a transition to an entirely renewable electricity system (100% renewable electricity production) by 2040. In 2021, the country had 203 MW of installed offshore wind capacity and nearly 12 GW of onshore wind.
