Vårgrønn has teamed up with Equinor to develop floating offshore wind at Utsira Nord in Norway. We are a Norwegian partnership with a track record in planning, developing and operating offshore wind in Norway and internationally. Together we own 60 percent of Dogger Bank in the UK, the world’s largest offshore wind farm under construction. At Utsira, we will build a floating offshore wind farm that contributes to establishing a local Norwegian supply chain for offshore wind that can compete internationally.

"Our project at Utsira Nord will provide an entry-point for Norwegian suppliers into the rapidly growing global market for floating offshore wind."

Vårgrønn and renewable energy developer European Energy in May 2023 announced a long-term strategic partnership to jointly pursue offshore wind opportunities in the Baltic Sea within Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.

We will work jointly across the whole offshore wind lifecycle, from development and financing, through to construction and operation. European Energy is present in all three Baltic states with offices and a pipeline of onshore renewable energy projects, and the company has developed and constructed several wind parks in Lithuania.

Together, we will work closely with local stakeholders to create offshore wind projects that meet countries' energy security and decarbonisation ambitions, while creating local jobs and safeguarding nature and the interests of other users of the sea.

"European Energy's local presence and renewables track-record in the Baltic states together with Vårgrønn's strong offshore experience makes for a strong partnership. Together we will develop sustainable offshore wind projects across Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia."
