Scandinavia's Largest Offshore Wind Park Planned
Wind development company wpd has applied for a construction permit for what will be Scandinavia's largest offshore wind park, the 1.5 GW Finngrunden project. The project's scope will include 300 wind turbines of 5 MW capacity, a combined power of 1500 MW. The wind park is to be located in a large area about 40 kilometers from the mainland, east of Gävle. Annual production is expected to be around 5.5 TWh. If permission is granted the construction phase of the wind park is expected to start in the year. 2014.
“In 11 years, Sweden's energy consumption will consist of 49% renewable energy and makes it difficult to meet this goal without offshore wind power,” added wpd CEO, Charlotte Bergqvist.
