Finland will launch five competitive tendering processes for more than 6GW of offshore wind power along its western coast.
Zoning initiatives for the first five have been initiated by Metsähallitus, responsible for managing and developing state-owned areas within the territorial waters.
Two projects are planned to be opened for tendering in September-October this year and two more developments next year.
Decision on the fifth site will be made later.
The partners for the constructing and operating of the planned offshore wind farms will be selected through another competitive, open and non-discriminatory tendering process.
