In line with our growth ambitions we are expanding our portfolio with new renewables assets, like Nysäter wind farm (475 MW) which has been in operation since June 2022 and represents one of the biggest onshore projects not only in Sweden, but also across Europe. We are currently developing our largest offshore project in the Nordics, Södra Victoria, with an estimated capacity between 1,400 MW up to 2,000 MW, the wind farm will strengthen energy supply to southern Sweden.
In Denmark, RWE is further progressing with the deployment of its Thor offshore wind farm. With a planned capacity of 1,000 MW, Thor will be Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm to date. RWE is already operating the Danish Rødsand 2 offshore wind farm with an installed capacity of 207 MW. RWE share is 20% and Rødsand 2 has been in operation since 2010.
RWE has been active in Norway since 2012. The expansion of offshore wind is a crucial factor for energy transition in Norway. RWE will use our experience to contribute to the development of the next energy era at the Norwegian continental shelf. Together with our partners NTE and Equinor, RWE will contribute to the development of new offshore wind projects in Norway.
