The Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has launched two offshore renewable energy schemes, Utsira Nord and Srlige Nordsj II, and is working on the licensing procedure for offshore wind generating projects in Norway.
Equinor, RWE Renewables, and Hydro REIN have decided to work together on a Norwegian offshore wind project. They want to approach the authorities for permission to build a large-scale, bottom-fixed wind farm in the Norwegian North Sea's Srlige Nordsj II area.
The generated electricity might be sold to markets in the EU and the United Kingdom, who have announced objectives to reach 300 GW and 100 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050, respectively. The wind resources in the Srlige Nordsj II area, according to Equinor, are among the best in the world; sea depths range from 53 to 70 meters.
