The Norwegian Ministry of Energy has approved Goliatvind's proposal for an Environmental Impact Assessment programme. In line with the exemption provision in the Offshore Energy Act, Goliatvind will shortly submit a licence application.
Goliatvind is a floating offshore wind project outside Hammerfest in Norway. The 75 MW demonstration plant is planned with five 15 MW wind turbines, located on Odfjell Oceanwind's Deepsea Star semi-submersible floating foundation, with the turbine located in the centre of the foundation. The plant is planned for construction in 2028/2029. The company is backed by Odfjell Oceanwind, Source Galileo, Kansai Electric Power, and Eneos Renewable Energy.
