OX2 has submitted a permit application under the Act on Sweden's Exclusive Economic Zone to construct an offshore wind farm in the Swedish economic zone off the coast of Falkenberg and Varberg.
The wind farm is called Galatea-Galene and divided into two sub-areas. Galatea is located about 25 km off Falkenberg and Galene about 25 km off Varberg. The wind farm will comprise up to 101 wind turbines, with a maximum height of 340 metres. OX2 has previously applied for a separate Natura 2000 permit for the offshore wind farm. The application is for permission to erect wind turbines, transformer stations and measuring masts, and is being assessed by the government.
