Five projects amounting to 865MW of renewable energy have been planned for Norway, while three Finnish projects are likely to supply 185MW.
The 350MW Havsul 1 offshore facility and 200MW Tonstad wind farm, both in Norway, are part of the proposed pipeline.
The merged entity is expected to ‘act like a single platform for investors to access a broad range of wind projects across three markets, combining onshore and offshore in some of the highest capacity factors available in Europe’, reports Recharge News.
