About the Project
Permitting process
Eolus submitted the permit application for Västvind in July 2023. Since the project area extends across both Sweden’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, the application is being reviewed by both the Land and Environment Court in Västra Götaland and the Swedish Government.
The application is currently under review. In March 2026, the County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland submitted its recommendation to the Government regarding the part of the project located in Sweden’s exclusive economic zone. The authority expressed a positive view of parts of the project in both the economic zone and territorial waters, while also noting that a larger area could potentially be approved if changes are made to shipping regulations.
