Statkraft, Aker Offshore Wind and Aker Horizons have signed a co-operation agreement to explore offshore wind project opportunities in Norway.
The companies will combine their strong, complementary skills and expertise to work together to explore the possibilities to develop, operate and deliver power from commercial scale offshore wind facilities in Norway.
Last year, the Norwegian government announced that it will open for applications for licenses for the development of wind power in two areas in the North Sea, namely Utsira Nord and Sørlige Nordsjø II.
The co-operation will explore the opportunity for bottom-fixed offshore wind at Sørlige Nordsjø II (SN2), for which the companies will establish an integrated project team, 50/50 split between Aker Offshore Wind and Statkraft, for joint preparation and submission of an acreage application and further development activities.
