The County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland has proposed that the government approve Freja Offshore's application to build the Mareld floating offshore wind farm, subject to certain adaptations.
Freja Offshore applied to build the 2.5 GW Mareld offshore wind farm, about 40 kilometres west of Lysekil. When fully developed, Mareld is expected to deliver 12 terawatt hours of electricity annually. During the preparation process, the County Administrative Board recommended that Freja adjust the wind farm area size, which has been agreed to, ensuring a sustainable coexistence with other important ocean users, such as commercial fishing and shipping. Now the government will make its final decision on the application. Freja Offshore is a 50-50 joint venture between Mainstream Renewable Power (an Aker Horizons company) and Hexicon.
