OX2 to build Swedish Offshore Wind Farm

The name of the planned offshore wind farm is Aurora. It will be located 20 kilometers south of Gotland and 30 kilometers east of Öland and consist of up to 370 turbines with a maximum height of 370 meter.

Electricity production from the wind farm is estimated at around 24 TWh a year, which corresponds to the yearly consumption of about 5 million households. The project also corresponds to reduced emissions of carbon dioxide of about 14 million tonnes per year.

"It is great that we now have handed in an application for another offshore wind farm. Our projects make up a considerable share of the road to reaching Sweden’s climate goals. They will also contribute substantially to the region’s ability to develop the community, businesses and industries," says Hillevi Priscar, Country Manager, OX2 Sweden.
