The joint venture named SeaSapphire, powered by Eolus and Simply Blue Group, is commencing the development of four commercial scale floating offshore wind parks in the Baltic Sea –two projects in Sweden and two in Finland.

The Swedish projects include Skidbladner, located 100 km southeast of Stockholm and, Herkules located 60 km southeast of The Island of Gotland. The projects in Finland include an undisclosed array located in Finnish exclusive economic zone in the Baltic Sea as well as Wellamo located 90 km outside Satakunta Region.

Eolus and Simply Blue Group each own 50% of the shares in SeaSapphire through which the partnership will take place.

The joint venture projects are under development and the two developers stated a strong focus is being put on supply chain development to provide opportunities for local job creation and exploring possibilities of alternative use of produced energy. They claim if all were to go ahead according to current plans, the projects would produce up to 40TWh/year.

“The SeaSapphire projects, will strengthen and diversify our offshore portfolio. Combining Eolus’ long experience of developing renewable projects and Simply Blue Group’s expertise within floating wind will allow us to build a strong and successful partnership. It provides great opportunities to add substantial green electricity production in the Nordics,” said Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus.

Sam Roch-Perks, Group CEO Simply Blue Group said: “This is a strong partnership between Simply Blue Group and Eolus, where our ambitions are similar, and our development experiences and competences complement. Our Blue Economy approach will benefit coastal societies and stakeholders in terms of new jobs and engagements in activities that will make it possible to manage the sustainable energy transition in Finland and Sweden and reach the fossil free targets.’
