Enefit Green offshore wind energy head Johann-Gustav Lend head stated: “We are pleased to strengthen our collaboration with AFRY as we progress with the Liivi Bay offshore wind farm. The development of onshore and offshore wind power is essential for unlocking wind energy’s full potential to tackle existing high dependency on electricity imports and to make electricity more affordable in the region, while also supporting the achievement of renewable energy goals.

“Once completed, the Liivi Bay offshore wind farm could cover half of Estonia’s current electricity consumption and significantly boost economic development. The environmental impact assessment for the Liivi offshore wind farm has been completed and is now awaiting final approval. The FEED phase marks the next key step in making this project a reality.”

AFRY has been part of the Liivi Bay project since the pre-development phase began in 2022.

AFRY unit wind and solar head of business Jonathan Sistonen added: “This project marks a continuation of AFRY’s longstanding collaboration with Enefit Green. We value the trust placed in us during the pre-development phase and are honoured to contribute to Estonia’s renewable energy ambitions through our involvement in the Bid-FEED.”

The total order value, granted through a competitive public tender process, amounts to EKr38m ($3.42m). 

AFRY will carry out the project in collaboration with three subcontractor partners over three years, although its specific portion of the order has not yet been disclosed.
