French developer Valorem has partnered with Estonia-based Sunly and Norway’s Deep Wind Offshore to develop a 1GW offshore wind project in Estonian waters. Valorem said on Wednesday that it would be joining the Tuul Energy project. Deep Wind Offshore secured the exclusivity rights to install a wind farm within a 250 sq km area west of Saaremaa Island in the Baltic Sea. According to the company, the specific area combines the Saare 2.1 and Saare 2.2 development areas into a single development. The project is progressing with superficies license proceedings while environmental impact assessments (EIA) are underway. The construction of the bottom-fixed wind farm will push Estonia towards its target to produce 100% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. “Securing exclusivity for a major offshore wind area in Estonia was a big win for Deep Wind Offshore. Bringing along Valorem Group and Sunly proves the willingness to commit to strong projects,” said Knut Vassbotn, CEO of Deep Wind Offshore. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsEstonia France Norway Offshore Wind
