Estonia is turning ambitions into action

The Baltic countries have an ambition to open up areas for offshore wind production for a total capacity of 20 GW within 2030, and Estonia has set a target of consuming 100 percent renewable energy within 2030.

Our projects

The Saare offshore wind sites have a water depth between 29 and 66 meters and hold an area of 252 km2. The area is located outside Saaremaa Island, with favourable wind conditions for efficient energy production.
Deep Wind Offshore stays committed to developing more than 10 GW of offshore wind within 10 years. This means continuing to develop projects in our core markets and exploiting opportunities in new markets. With the awards of the Saare offshore wind sites, Estonia is set to become a core market for the company.

Developing supply chains

Our project

The Utsira Nord offshore wind area, with a total capacity of 1500 MW, is located west of Haugesund, and is suited for floating wind turbines. The offshore wind technology with the largest predicted growth rate. The area is ideally located far enough offshore to harness some of the world’s best wind resources, whilst well within reach of a cost-efficient power transfer system.

Ideal conditions

The onshore grid is well suited for incorporating and balancing new renewable energy produced at scale empowering the growth of new industries. The south-west coast of Norway has a diversified and sophisticated supply chain, well positioned for delivering products and services needed.

Estonia is turning ambitions into action, and Deep Wind Offshore is really excited to contribute to the country reaching its climate goals, providing energy security, building value chains, and creating new jobs.

Partnership in Norway

Deep Wind Offshore and energy major EDF Renewables have beenworking closely together in Norway since 2021. The work includes delivering acompetitive bid for the Utsira Nord tender. The consortium has also signed an agreement to explore the terms for cooperation for the 2025 tenders.

The partnership combines global renewables expertise with 100years of Norwegian power generation and extensive experience in offshore and maritime operations. Innovation, sustainability, and the local community lies at the core of the collaboration.

Deep Wind Offshore and bp have formed a joint venture to develop offshore wind opportunities in South Korea. As part of the agreement, bp entered the Deep Wind Offshore developed early-stage portfolio, including four projects across the South Korean peninsula with a capacity of up to 6 GW.

Deep Wind Offshore has also signed an agreement with East-West Power (EWP), one of South Korea’s state-owned power generation companies. EWP currently accounts for 11,2 GW of all power generation facilities in South Korea.

Our projects

The company currently has four offices across the country and an experienced local team to develop the sites in close dialogue with local stakeholders, offering opportunities for local supply chains and helping South Korea de-carbonize its power generation through offshore wind. Deep Wind Offshore has already secured site exclusivity for 2 GW.

Admiral Lee

Admiral Lee is located on the south coast of South Korea and offers good wind resources and shallow water conditions, enabling a cost-efficient development with monopile turbine foundations in close proximity of large industrial load centers, ports, and fabrication infrastructure to support the project both in construction- and operation-phase of the project.

Western Wind

Western Wind is located on the west coast of Korea, in medium water depths, which could be suitable for either bottom fixed or floating turbine foundations. The project is located in the South Korea Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and will be connected to the main grid through an HVDC connection. Wind speeds are good, and access to several existing ports for fabrication will enable this as a significant scale development with substantial opportunities for the local supply chain.
