About SeaSapphire

SeaSapphire, powered by Eolus and Simply Blue Group, will utilise innovative and cutting-edge floating offshore wind technologies to produce zero-carbon electricity in 4 wind parks in Sweden and Finland. The development aims to be a stepping stone to help Sweden and Finland progress towards a net-zero future and handle the increasing demand for electricity.

SeaSapphire propose to develop four floating wind projects Herkules, Skidbladner in Sweden and Wellamo and an undisclosed project in Finland. The projects are in the consenting stage and in parallel, a strong focus is put on supply chain development to provide opportunities for local job creation and commercial scale alternatives use of energy opportunities in Sweden and Finland.

The projects are estimated to produce up to 40TWh/year which contributes to Sweden’s and Finland’s need to increase energy production capacity for the foreseeable future and at the same time maximise financial benefits and generate long term jobs for its local communities.
