Estonia is turning ambitions into action

Deep Wind Offshore is committed to developing offshore wind power in Estonia, contributing to the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets. Our projects aim to harness the wind resources of the Baltic Sea to deliver long-term, sustainable energy while strengthening Estonia's energy independence.

We are developing the Tuule Energy offshore wind project, located west of Saaremaa Island. The project combines two development areas, Saare 2.1 and Saare 2.2, into a single initiative with a planned capacity of up to 2.4 GW. Tuule Energy is a joint effort with our partner Valorem and represents a significant step towards meeting Estonia's climate goals.

‍

By working closely with local stakeholders and authorities, we ensure that our projects create value for both the local community and the national economy. From creating jobs to collaborating with local suppliers, our focus remains on responsible development and long-term partnerships.

Our projects

Deep Wind Offshore is developing offshore wind power in Estonia to contribute to the country’s renewable energy targets and energy security. Our primary project in the region is located west of Saaremaa Island and is being developed as a large-scale offshore wind farm.
The project combines two previously separate development areas, Saare 2.1 and Saare 2.2, into a single initiative called Tuule Energy. With a planned capacity of up to 2.4 GW, it will be one of Estonia's largest offshore wind developments, positioned to deliver significant renewable energy to the national grid.

Why Offshore Wind Power?
Offshore wind power offers large advantages. Strong, consistent winds at sea enable higher and more reliable energy output than wind power onshore. The parks can be positioned far from the coast to minimize the visual impact.

By replacing fossil energy, offshore wind power can significantly reduce Sweden’s carbon emissions. It also supports the establishment of new electricity-intensive industries, fostering innovation and economic growth in coastal regions.

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.
