About the Project

Eolus is investigating possibility for establishing an offshore windfarm in the Baltic Sea within the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The project includes max. 160 floating wind turbines approx. 60 km south-east of Gotland. Electricity production is estimated for 13 TWh per year, which corresponds to electricity usage for millions of villas.

The permit application has not been submitted. Eolus is continuously evaluating the project’s conditions, considering factors such as the security situation and the government’s decision in November 2024 to reject 13 other offshore projects in the Baltic Sea.
