| Work Detail |
Estonia’s Enefit Green has awarded an FEED services deal to Swedish engineering consultancy AFRY for the 1GW Liivi Bay offshore wind farm in Estonia. Together with its partners Enersea, JBO, and Ingeo2, AFRY will deliver an integrated and comprehensive design that is optimised in terms of the levelized cost of electricity. The FEED scope includes detailed site assessment studies, site layout optimization, foundation selection and design, transport and installation engineering and planning, and the full electrical design including offshore substation. The work will enable Enefit to prepare for the Estonian CfD auction in the third quarter of 2025. This is not a new project for AFRY as it has been actively involved in the predevelopment phase of Liivi Bay since 2022. The offshore wind farm is planned to consist of up to 84 turbines with a total capacity of 1GW, with an annual electricity production of up to 4TWh. The farm’s location is in the Gulf of Riga, 11 km from Kihnu Island. The expected construction period for the offshore wind farm is 2028–2030. “Once completed, the Liivi Bay offshore wind farm could cover half of Estonia’s current electricity consumption and significantly boost economic development. The environmental impact assessment for the Liivi offshore wind farm has been completed and is now awaiting final approval,” Johann-Gustav Lend, head of offshore wind energy at Enefit Green. |
