Vattenfall and Zephyr, two Nordic leaders in renewable energy, are planning an offshore wind farm on the west coast of Sweden, in the southern Skagerrak/northern Kattegat region about 40 km northwest of Gothenburg.
They are applying for a permit for the Poseidon offshore wind farm. According to estimates, the proposed wind farm will have a maximum of 94 turbines with floating foundations, possibly the first in Sweden. The project will generate approximately 5.5 TWh of electricity per year, or nearly 4% of Sweden's electricity consumption, supplying about 1 million households.
As part of the permitting process, WSP is responsible for preparing the environmental impact assessment and supporting studies for the establishment of the wind farm under Sweden’s Economic Zone Act (SEZ) and the internal cable network under the Continental Shelf Act (KSL) as well as supporting the client during all stages of the permitting processes.
Our assignment includes providing strategic support to Zephyr and Vattenfall. WSP will continue to support the client in the next phases of the project.
