Deep Wind Offshore is thrilled to have been awarded a GW size site in the latest auction.
The offshore wind site Saare 2.1. has a water depth between 29 and 66 meters and holds an area of 164 km2. It is located outside Saaremaa Island, with favourable wind conditions for efficient energy production.
"Estonia is turning ambitions into action, and we are really excited to have been awarded this site. Deep Wind Offshore will contribute to the country reaching its climate goals, providing energy security, building value chains, and creating new jobs", CEO Knut Vassbotn of Deep Wind Offshore says.
"Deep Wind Offshore stays committed to developing more than 10 GW of offshore wind within 10 years. This means both continuing to develop projects in our core markets and to exploit opportunities in new markets. With this award, Estonia is set to become a core market” Vassbotn said.
