Construction, Energy, Estonia, Good for Business

Baltic Blue Energy OÜ board member Endel Siff said that Estonia is among Europe's leading states in wind resource, being only behind England in this respect. "Sea wind parks don’t disturb people and sea winds are stable," said Siff.

Baltic Blue Energy OÜ open sea wind energy park is planned to be located in the West Estonian coastal sea, in the area between South Western coast of Hiiumaa island and Northern coast of Saaremaa island. Although the application is for 388 wind energy generators with total capacity of 2,716 MW, the company intends to build just 1,999 MW worth.

"We have applied for bigger capacity and bigger area to carry out wind studies there. After the studies we will choose the most suitable areas for building the wind energy park," said wind energy park planner Karl Mägi, adding that it will take at least five more years till the start of construction.
