Deep Wind Offshore is developing the Olof Skötkonung wind farm in Sweden’s exclusive economic zone (LSEZ) in the Bothnian Sea. The application has been transferred by the Swedish government to the County Administrative Board of Uppsala for evaluation.
The Olof Skötkonung offshore wind farm is expected to produce up to 7,5 TWh of renewable electricity, corresponding to the combined electricity consumption of Gävleborg and Uppsala counties in 2021.
The distance to Gävle is just over 40 km, and to Söderhamn approximately 65 km. The nearest point onshore is Rödhäll, approximately 26 km southwest of the wind farm. The water depth in the area of the wind farm’s intended location is about 18-75 meters and the wind farm is planned to be built on bottom-fixed foundations.
