Russia's 'threat from east' puts western Sweden on pole for giant floating wind: Freja CEO

Freja Offshore next year could receive a final central government green light to build its 2.5GW Mareld offshore wind array in the Skagerrak Strait that links the North and the Baltic Seas, CEO Magnus Hallmann told Recharge, pointing also to fewer military sensitivities in the area than off Sweden’s eastern coasts.

The Mainstream Renewable Power and Hexicon tie-up in April submitted a planning application for the floating wind project northwest of Sweden’s second largest city, Gothenburg.
