In May, CPTRA announced an auction for the development of an offshore wind farm in the Saare 7 area.
OÜ Utilitas Wind and Sunly Wind OÜ each filed their own competing application; however, neither of the companies fulfilled the requirements for participation in the auction, according to CPTRA.
Filed on 15 July 2021 and amended on 2 September 2024, Sunly Wind’s application is for a 552 MW project comprising 46 offshore wind turbines with 15 MW output and 264-metre rotor diameters that would rise to 165 metres above the water level.
The authority added that it is currently unknown whether there will be a new auction for Saare 7, as it depends on the interest of the developers.
A new application for a superficies licence would need to be submitted to the CPTRA in order to establish an offshore wind farm in the area.
The 158.9-square-kilometre Saare 7 site is located approximately twelve kilometres west of Saarema in an area suitable for the development of wind energy set by the Estonian maritime spatial plan.
