OX2 applies for permission to build Triton offshore wind farm in southern Sweden

The Triton wind farm, to be built about 30 kilometres south of Ystad, will consist of up to 129 turbines with a maximum height of 370 metres. The total installed capacity will be about 1,800 MW and the production will be about 7.5 TWh per year, which is equivalent to the electricity production of a nuclear reactor or the electricity consumption of 1.5 million households. The project will contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions of 4.5 million tonnes per year.

"I am very happy that we are taking the next step in the development of Triton. The wind farm will be constructed on bottom fixed construction which is a well proven technology. This will keep time of construction short. Once completed the wind farm will contribute with additional electricity in the south of Sweden and contribute to Sweden reaching its ambitious climate targets," says Hillevi Priscar, Country Manager, OX2.

OX2 has already applied for Natura 2000 and a permit under the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone Act for the Galatea-Galene offshore wind farm on the west coast of Sweden.
