Since 2021, a new project has been developed with 40 per cent less area, 90 per cent fewer turbines, and a quadrupled distance – which means two kilometres – between them, said Eolus.
Further measures to accommodate the Swedish Armed Forces have been developed in regional collaboration, according to the company.
“Together with the Blekinge Region and the municipalities of Kristianstad and Simrishamn, we have opened up to offer the Swedish Armed Forces an extended area for marine exercises in Hanö Bay,” said Birgit Birgersson-Brorsson (S), Chair of the Municipal Council in Sölvesborg, and Kith Mårtensson (M), Vice Chair of the Municipal Council in Sölvesborg.
“Our proposal for an expansion of 770 square kilometers corresponds to an area five times larger than Blekinge Offshore. From the perspective of the coastal municipalities and the region, we are very eager for the project to proceed.”
“We must stop putting different types of energy against each other and instead embrace every kWh that we can produce ourselves in electricity price area 4 – regardless of how it is produced. In this way, we create jobs instead of risking losing investments and establishments due to uncertainty in electricity supply and higher electricity prices than surrounding regions,” according to Johan Dalén , the regional director of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise in Skåne and Blekinge.
