Tuule Energy is a large-scale offshore wind project being developed west of Saaremaa Island, Estonia. The project combines the Saare 2.1 and Saare 2.2 development areas into a single initiative, covering approximately 252 km² with a planned capacity of up to 2.4 GW. Once completed, it will be one of the largest offshore wind farms in the Baltic region, contributing significantly to Estonia’s renewable energy transition and long-term energy security.
The project design includes modern turbines optimized for energy efficiency and foundations suited for varying seabed conditions at water depths ranging from 29 to 66 meters. Export cables will be installed for direct grid connection, supporting Estonia’s clean energy supply. Developed through a partnership between Deep Wind Offshore and Valorem, Tuule Energy brings together offshore wind development expertise and renewable energy management. The project is progressing with superficies license proceedings and environmental impact assessments (EIA) underway, with construction planned following regulatory approvals.
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.
