Edith Offshore Wind Project, Närpiö
In early June 2023, we announced on progress made with the planned offshore wind farm project off Närpiö. A wind farm with an estimated capacity of 1,600 MW is planned for this area. When completed, the offshore wind power project will be in operation in the 2030s.
Metsähallitus as a developer of offshore wind projects
Metsähallitus is a project developer in the Edith 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.
