OX2 has entered a conditional agreement with EEW Special Pipe Constructions (SPC) for the delivery of monopile foundations for two of the offshore wind farms OX2 is developing in Sweden together with Ingka Investments.

According to the agreement, EEW SPC will deliver up to 230 monopile foundations to the offshore wind farms Galatea-Galene and Triton in Sweden.

”We are very pleased to support OX2 on their endeavor in the Baltic Sea, for which we geographically are very well positioned to support from our facility in Rostock,” said Robert Dreves, CEO, EEW SPC.

The agreement will enable OX2 and Ingka Investments to start realising the projects following the grant of the final permit, the developer said.

”This marks the start of the next episode for our offshore projects in Sweden and we are incredibly happy to be engaging EEW. We will be working close with EEW to make sure we can start construction as soon as possible and thereby make a large-scale contribution of emissions-free electricity to parts of Sweden that needs it the most,” said Emelie Zakrisson, Head of Offshore Wind Development, OX2 Sweden.

OX2 is developing three offshore wind farms in Sweden together with Ingka Investments: the 1.7 GW Galatea-Galene on the west coast, the 1.8 GW Triton, in the south of Sweden, and the 5.5 GW Aurora, between the islands Gotland and Öland.

The final approval of the projects is made by the Government of Sweden and the project has the potential to produce about 38 TWh, which corresponds to about a quarter of Sweden’s present consumption.

OX2 also develops offshore wind in Finland and outside Åland. The company’s total portfolio of offshore wind projects at the end of 2022 was 13.9 GW.
