Accelerating the Green Transition: Aurora Offshore Wind Farm Project in Sweden
Key Ideas
  • The County Administrative Board of Gotland recommends approval for the Aurora offshore wind farm, potentially delivering 6 TWh annually by 2030.
  • The project aims to contribute to net zero emissions by enabling hydrogen and e-fuel production for fossil-free industry, shipping, and aviation.
  • Developers plan to utilize wind turbines for surveillance to support the Swedish Armed Forces and incorporate biodiversity improvements in the area.
  • OX2 and Ingka Investments are also involved in developing several other offshore wind farms in Sweden and Finland, showing commitment to renewable energy expansion.
The County Administrative Board of Gotland in Sweden has proposed the approval of the Aurora offshore wind farm project developed by OX2 and Ingka Investments under the country's exclusive economic zone Act. The project, located in the Baltic Sea, could generate over 6 TWh annually by 2030, aiding in the transition to net zero emissions. By 2035, the wind farm is expected to produce up to 24 TWh annually, with plans for hydrogen and e-fuel production to support various industries. The developers aim to enhance biodiversity through artificial reefs and large-scale mussel farming within the wind farm area to combat eutrophication. Additionally, collaborations are underway to investigate sustainable solutions. OX2 and Ingka Investments are also engaged in other offshore wind projects in Sweden and Finland, showcasing a broader commitment to expanding renewable energy sources.
