Ox2 is planning to build an offshore wind power part in two sub-areas, named Galatea – Galene off the coast of Falkenberg and Varberg in Kattegatt. Since wind power is a renewable and emission-free energy source, an extensive development of more wind power parks could help Sweden to reach several of the national environmental objectives. The wind power plant has the potential to produce 5 TWH each year, which is equal the household electricity consumption for 1 million homes.
In the permit process AquaBiota is supporting OX2 with providing information as a preparation for public hearing, mapping work and analyses, Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), guidance and field surveys.
