Landinfra Energy is investigating the conditions for up to 8 GW of offshore wind power off the Swedish coast.

The Swedish project development company Landinfra Energy AB ("Landinfra") is investigating the conditions for the establishment of offshore wind power within the Swedish economic zone and Swedish territorial waters. In total, the company has selected nine areas along the Swedish coast where the conditions for offshore wind power are to be investigated. The areas are Falkenberg/Halmstad, Baltic Edge, Öland/Hoburg (three sub-areas), Slite, Oxelösund, Hudiksvall and Sundsvall.

"I am happy to be able to tell you that Landinfra is now investigating the conditions for the establishment of offshore wind power within the Swedish economic zone and Swedish territorial waters. The selected areas are completely in line with the company's strategy and will be a good complement to our portfolio of renewable energy production projects around Sweden," says Marcus Landelin, CEO and co-founder of Landinfra.

All sites are within areas that the Swedish Energy Agency, together with nine other authorities, have suggested as suitable for wind power. Landinfra has chosen the areas based on criteria such as community interests, proximity to grid connection and greater existing or planned electricity consumption, reasonable investment costs, the possibility of a relatively low production cost and natural values.

All in all, the nine areas are assessed to have a potential for an installed power of between 5 and 8 GW.

"Weighing wind power projects against various natural and social interests and producing the investigations needed for an environmental assessment and permit review is a process that can take several years. Now we start the work and thus also the dialogue with the relevant authorities and stakeholders in order to create together with them the best conditions for an expansion of renewable electricity production for Swedish consumers", says Marcus Landelin, CEO Landinfra Energy.
