Sweden, Skåne: OX2 has submitted a permit application to construct an 1800 MW offshore wind farm off the coast of Skåne in the south of Sweden.
The wind developer has submitted the permit application under the act of Sweden’s Exclusive Economic Zone.
According to the application, the Triton offshore wind project will be situated about 30 km south of Ystad and will consist of up to 129 turbines with a maximum height of 370 metres.
“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,” said OX2 country manager Hillevi Priscar.
OX2 has previously applied for Natura 2000 and a permit under the act of Sweden’s Exclusive Economic Zone for the offshore wind farm Galatea-Galene on the west coast of Sweden.
