Offshore wind
The market for offshore wind power is growing, and offshore wind will be an important contribution on the road to a renewable and climate-neutral future.
Statkraft's strategy is to be a developer and operator of offshore wind power plants in Northern Europe, especially in markets where the company is already established.
Our aim is to develop offshore wind on a competitive scale and to continue the search for new opportunities together with our partners. We will first look for opportunities in the North Sea basin, focusing on Norway, Sweden and Ireland, but will not rule out investments in offshore wind in other markets in the future.
In October 2023 Statkraft announced that it acquired Njord Offshore Wind AB in Sweden. Njordr Offshore Wind has been a pioneer within offshore wind in Sweden establishing a strong project team and a significant project pipeline of early-stage offshore wind power projects.
Statkraft has previously developed several large offshore wind projects outside the UK which were later sold at a good profit.
