Now, the OX2 and Ingka Investments are expected to apply for a permit to build a similar project some 37 kilometres east of the island of Gotland.
This is according to a document sent by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to German authorities, in which the Swedish government is notifying Germany, as well as other neighbouring countries, of the project plans.
The project is the Pleione energy park that was part of the transaction when OX2 and Ingka partnered in 2023 .
The Pleione energy park is planned to have a 1 GW offshore wind farm that comprises 42–70 wind turbines and hydrogen production plant(s) on dedicated platforms or the foundations of the wind turbines.
In September last year, OX2 announced the 1.8 GW Ran offshore wind project which will be developed together with the Pleione offshore wind farm .
According to information on OX2’s website, the next milestone for the Pleione-Ran project is to complete the work on the environmental impact assessment (EIA) to enable filing the application in the spring of 2024.
