Eneos Renewable Energy Corporation (ERE) (Japan) has entered into an agreement to purchase a 20% interest in the Norwegian GoliatVind floating offshore wind farm project.
The project involves the construction and operation of a floating offshore wind farm with an installed capacity of 75 MW. This includes five 15 MW wind turbines installed on Odfjell Oceanwind’s semi-submersible steel foundation design called Deepsea Star. The wind farm will be located on the border between the northern Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea in northern Norway at a depth of around 400 metres. The project will be jointly developed with the other shareholders, Source Galileo (40%), Odfjell Oceanwind (20%) and Kansai Electric Power Group (20%), aiming for a commercial operation date of 2028. This is ERE's first overseas offshore wind project and the second floating offshore wind project after the Gotō City offshore wind project.
