Offshore Wind Project Ebba, 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 acts as the project developer of the Ebba offshore wind project, which is located in Finland’s territorial waters. Metsähallitus’ statutory role is to ensure that the planning and development of the project are carried out in accordance with applicable legislation and with due consideration for societal, environmental and economic aspects.
The project is based on the Government Resolution of 23 November 2023 on promoting offshore wind power in Finland’s territorial waters through a commercial competitive bidding process. The resolution establishes the framework for offshore wind development in Finland’s territorial waters and creates conditions for sectoral investment and the development of electricity generation. Offshore wind projects may have impacts on areas such as energy supply, regional economic development and business activities. The extent to which these impacts materialise depends on the further development of the projects and subsequent decision-making processes.
