Swedish greentech company Eolus plans to build a 147-turbine, 2.2 GW offshore wind farm off the coastline of Gotland.

The turbines will have a maximum height of 360 meters, and the entire farm will cover an area of roughly 540.5 square miles, according to the plan.Swedish greentech company Eolus has just applied for a new 2.2 gigawatt offshore wind farm permit. To be called the Skidbladner offshore wind farm, the new farm is planned to comprise up to 147 wind turbines.

It will also provide around ten times the electrical needs for Gotland. The turbines will have a maximum height of 360 meters, and the entire farm will cover an area of roughly 540.5 square miles .“Given the enormous need for new electricity production in Sweden, offshore wind power will need to be expanded gradually over many years to come. A wind farm of this size would therefore make a significant contribution to the Swedish electricity supply,” says Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus.

Founded in 1990, Eolus has spent the last 30 years innovating and developing customized energy solutions. Their primary focus is on renewable technologies like solar and wind. Skidbladner marks an important milestone: the application has been submitted to the Government. The planned turbines will be mounted on floating foundations anchored to the seabed.
