OX2 has finalized and submitted the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report for the Halla offshore wind project in Finland, marking a significant milestone as the first EIA for an offshore wind project in the country's exclusive economic zone. The project, situated in the Gulf of Bothnia, covers various crucial components such as hydrogen pipelines, offshore power stations, and facilities for on-sea hydrogen production, indicating a comprehensive approach towards sustainable energy solutions. The EIA report, now open for public comments, emphasizes the positive environmental outlook of the project area, supported by field surveys and wind measurements showing favorable conditions for wind power production. Additionally, OX2's involvement in the IceWind project to study ice conditions for offshore wind turbine foundations underlines their commitment to developing resilient renewable energy solutions. With plans for up to 160 turbines and a substantial capacity, the Halla offshore wind farm is poised to contribute significantly to Finland's carbon neutrality goals and energy transition ambitions. The company's confidence in developing responsible renewable energy solutions in challenging conditions reflects a promising outlook for the offshore wind industry in the region.
