The Ventyr Energy consortium was first established as a partnership between Belgian offshore wind developer and operator Parkwind and the Norwegian energy service company NorSea.
Now, Ingka Investments, the investment arm of Ingka Group – the largest IKEA Retailer operator – will also join the Ventyr Energy consortium, taking a 49 per cent stake in the consortium.
For Ingka Investments this partnership is part of a EUR 6.5 billion initiative to support 100 per cent renewable energy consumption across the IKEA value chain and beyond. Ingka Investments has invested and committed EUR 4 billion into renewable energy projects to date, according to Ventyr Energy.
