Deep Wind Offshore has been on the ground in Sweden for more than two years and CEO Knut Vassbotn believes that there are significant opportunities for members of Norwegian Offshore Wind in the Swedish market.

-Sweden is an industry nation second to none, with a world leading automotive industry, and quite a few companies already delivering significant volume to the offshore wind industry, particularly within electrical systems, says Vassbotn.

He underscores that Sweden has a target of becoming carbon neutral by 2045, more ambitious than most other similar countries. Electrification in general, and new industries such as battery production and fossil free steel production, are driving a need for more than doubling the existing renewables and carbon neutral energy production.

-A significant part of this new production will probably come from offshore wind. Over the last couple of years, there has been an enormous interest for developing offshore wind in Sweden, so far there has been two projects sanctioned by the Swedish government in 2023. Combined with the Norwegian offshore capability, the two countries should be able to offer most of the products required for balance of plant, as an example, says Vassbotn.
