Metsähallitus has completed the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Program for the Ebba offshore wind project, and the document is now available on the environmental administration’s online platform. The project is located in Finland’s territorial waters in the Bothnian Bay, off the coasts of Pyhäjoki and Raahe.
The EIA Program outlines the project alternatives, the scope of the impact assessments, and the methodologies to be applied. This program forms the foundation for the statutory EIA procedure, which aims to provide robust environmental data to support project development and decision-making, while ensuring transparent engagement with the public and key stakeholders.
The Finnish Supervisory Agency serves as the EIA authority. The EIA Program is open for public review from 11 March to 9 April 2026. During this period it is possible to submit comments and statements. The project webpage will be updated as the EIA process advances.
