Ebba Offshore Wind Project, Pyhäjoki/Raahe
The project area, which administratively belongs to the municipalities of Pyhäjoki and Raahe, is owned by the state. The area has been reserved for offshore energy production in both the maritime spatial plan and the draft energy and climate regional plan for Northern Ostrobothnia. Ebba has an estimated capacity of 1400 MW, and the goal is to begin electricity production in the 2030s.
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.
