The Swedish renewable energy company Skyborn Renewables has submitted a permit application to the Swedish government to build a 2.8 GW offshore wind park, located 50 km off Örskar Island in central Sweden’s Uppsala County. The Fyrskeppet project, which will comprise 187 wind turbines, is expected to generate up to 11 TWh/year of electricity once completed.
Skyborn Renewables is currently developing four other offshore wind projects in Sweden totalling 10 GW: the 3.9 GW Eystrasalt project off Hudiksvall (expected in 2032), the 3 GW Polargrund project off Kalix (no commissioning date so far), the 2 GW Pooki project off Uppsala (2030), and the 1 GW Storgrundet project off Gävle and Söderhamn (2029).
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 (over 14 GW in 2022 according to preliminary estimates).
