Offshore wind
The market for offshore wind power is growing, and offshore wind will be an important contribution on the road to a renewable and climate-neutral future.
Statkraft's strategy is to take an industrial role within offshore wind in Northern Europe, especially in markets where the company is already established. Statkraft’s ambition is to develop 6-8 GW of offshore wind by 2040.
Our aim is to develop offshore wind on a competitive scale and to continue the search for new opportunities together with our partners. We will first look for opportunities in the North Sea basin, focusing on Norway, Sweden, the UK and Ireland, but will not rule out investments in offshore wind in other markets in the future.
In October 2023, Statkraft announced that it acquired Njordr Offshore Wind AB in Sweden. Njordr Offshore Wind has been a pioneer within offshore wind in Sweden establishing a strong project team and a significant project pipeline of early-stage offshore wind power projects.
Statkraft has previously developed several large offshore wind projects outside the UK which were later sold at a good profit.
Our ambitions in Norway

Our project in Ireland
Statkraft participated in the development of the Sheringham Shoal wind farm (pictured) off the east coast of England, but later sold its stake. Now the focus has moved to the development of offshore wind power off the coast of Ireland.
North Irish Sea Array
NISA was awarded a contract in the Irish government’s first offshore wind auction in 2023 to develop 500 MW of green energy.
