OX2 has submitted a permit application under the Act on Sweden's Exclusive Economic Zone to construct an offshore wind farm within the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone off the coast of Falkenberg and Varberg.

The project is called Galatea-Galene and is divided into two areas. Galatea is located about 25 km outside Falkenberg and Galene about 25 km outside Varberg. The wind farm comprises up to 101 wind turbines, with a maximum height of 340 metres.

The estimated electricity production from the wind farm amounts to approximately 6-7 TWh per year, which corresponds to an annual household electricity consumption of approximately 1.2 million households, or every fourth household in Sweden (5,000 kWh/household).

The application is for permission to erect wind turbines, transformer stations and measuring masts, and is being assessed by the government. OX2 has previously applied for a separate Natura 2000 permit for the offshore wind farm.

“We have now arrived at the next phase and are looking forward to the next steps. Galatea-Galene would bring a significant amount of new Swedish renewable electricity to southern Sweden. The project is important for industry, business, households and the labour market. And it will also contribute to achieving Sweden’s ambitious environmental goals,” said Hillevi Priscar, Country Manager for OX2 in Sweden.

The project is part of OX2's Swedish project development portfolio, which at the end of the second quarter amounted to 11.1 GW.
