EIA procedure in the Ebba

The EIA procedure and planning of the Ebba offshore wind project are being carried out in cooperation with experienced consultants in the field. An active dialogue is being maintained with coastal municipalities, mapping potential landfalls and route alternatives for power lines. 

The role of local residents and communities is particularly emphasised in the EIA procedure, which is based on openness and inclusion. In each stage, you can make a difference: by participating in events; making statements; or discussing matters in local decision-making.

The EIA report and the draft plans will be completed in parallel and are expected to be presented to the public in approximately 2027, at which time new public events will also be organised.

Transfer of project rights 

As the studies and planning progress, Metsähallitus will move on to the next phase, where project rights will be auctioned to an investor through an international tendering process. Metsähallitus will retain the role of landlord and oversee management of the area. The state retains ownership of the area through Metsähallitus.
