Ebba Offshore Wind Project, Pyhäjoki/Raaha
The project area, which is administratively part of the municipalities of Pyhäjoki and Raahe, is owned by the state. The area has been reserved for wind power production in the Marine Spatial Plan and in the draft Energy and Climate Regional Plan for North Ostrobothnia. The planned offshore wind project in the area has an estimated capacity of 1400 MW. The aim is that electricity production can start in the 2030s. The Ebba project is part of the offshore wind projects developed by Metsähallitus in its territorial waters. Metsähallitus' total project development potential in regional waters is over 10 000MW.
Metsähallitus as a developer of offshore wind projects
Metsähallitus is a project developer in the Ebba offshore wind project, which is located in state-owned territorial waters. The aim of the project is to promote Finland’s transition towards cleaner energy production. Metsähallitus’ statutory role ensures that development takes place in a responsible and socially sustainable manner.
The project is based on the Government resolution adopted on 23 November 2023 concerning the promotion of offshore wind power in Finnish territorial waters through a commercial competitive tendering process. The resolution sets the course for increasing renewable energy production and lays a foundation for investments in offshore wind power infrastructure. It represents a significant step towards a carbon-neutral future, realising the potential of renewable energy, providing regional and national economic benefits and creating opportunities for businesses.
