Wind Industry Profile of


Van Oord Buys Into Baltic Offshore Wind Developer

Van Oord is now a shareholder in Saare Wind Energy which is developing the Saaremaa offshore wind farm in Estonia. The collaboration with Van Oord allows Saare Wind Energy to intensify the development process, as financial support and knowledge are combined.

While Saare Wind Energy has extensive knowledge of local conditions and the environmental impact assessment, Van Oord has been involved in several early developments of offshore wind farms in the last years. Together, they want to secure the development of the Saaremaa offshore wind farm off the coast of Estonia.

The up to 200 km2 large area is located south-west of the Estonian Island Saaremaa and could facilitate an offshore wind farm of over 1,000 MW. The development of the wind farm has been ongoing for several years. In May 2020 and the Estonian government decided that Saare Wind Energy could proceed with the location permit procedure and the associated Environmental Impact Assessment.

The Saaremaa offshore wind farm location offers a unique opportunity for a hybrid project. The combination of good wind resources, an offshore wind location in line with the Marine Spatial Plan and the opportunity to develop interconnectors across the Baltic Sea to Sweden and Latvia, give Estonia the opportunity to take first steps in implementing the vision of the Baltic Sea declaration.
