Sector: Power - Offshore wind
Project Type: Greenfield
Project Size: 2100 MW
Project Status: Cancelled
Project Owner: Statkraft
Location: Europe - Sweden, Stockholm

Project Profile: Statkraft has submitted a planning application for the 2.1 GW Baltic Offshore Delta North bottom-fixed offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea. The Delta North wind farm is located in Sweden’s economic zone, approx. 100 kms east of Stockholm and 55 kms east of Sandhamn island. The proposed wind farm includes up to 105 bottom-fixed wind turbines in an area far out at sea to ensure low to no visibility from land.

With water depths ranging from 40 to 80 metres, the area is the only suitable location for bottom-fixed offshore wind at scale in the vicinity of Stockholm. Depending on the final landfall and grid connection location, the windfarm may be connected to hydrogen or e-fuel technologies which provide grid stability by addressing any issues of intermittent power production from offshore wind. Statkraft has submitted an application to build and operate the Delta North offshore wind farm to the Ministry of Climate and Economic Affairs as per the law governing Sweden’s economic zone. After submission, the government will evaluate Statkraft’s application and seek input from consultation with several agencies before making a decision.

In November 2024, Sweden’s government cancelled the project, along with 12 others,  citing military defence concerns.
