Offshore Wind Farm in the Bothnian Gulf with 70 Turbines to Generate Electricity and Reduce Carbon Emissions. Wind Energy License Granted.
Deep Wind Offshore recently submitted a license application for the offshore wind farm Olof Skötkonung, equipped with 70 turbines, located in southern Sweden. The project is situated in the Bothnian Gulf, northeast of Gävleborg and Uppsala counties. It is estimated that Olof Skötkonung will be capable of generating about 7.5 TWh of electricity per year, which represents a significant portion of the electricity consumption in the Gävleborg region and the Uppsala county.
The electricity production from the wind farm may also help major emitters in the surrounding area to adapt, said the wind energy developer. In total, the farm is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by 3.2 million tons, covering emissions from industry, waste, and energy production in the area. Deep Wind Offshore stated that it sees significant potential for offshore wind energy in Sweden. ‘In the last two years, we have been working in two areas, and the submission of the application is truly a milestone for the company’, said CEO Knut Vassbotn (photo).
