Building Norway’s first large-scale offshore wind project is pioneering work
Developing a new industry and realizing a successful offshore wind project requires groundbreaking work, in close collaboration with authorities and stakeholders.
Developing Norway’s first large-scale offshore wind project and a new industry
Ventyr is a partnership that will develop, own, and operate Sørlige Nordsjø II, Norway’s first large-scale offshore wind project, laying the foundation for a new industry in Norway.
SNII is Norway’s first large-scale offshore wind project
Sørlige Nordsjø II (SNII) will be the most important single contributor to new power production in Norway over the next decade and the first step on the road to realizing Norway’s offshore wind ambitions.

Formosa 2
Formosa 2 completed the installation of 47 wind turbines in January 2023, 4-10 km off the coast of Miaoli County in the north-western part of Taiwan. Since the turbines were connected to the grid in March 2023, Formosa 2 has supplied green energy to around 380,000 households.

Oriel Windfarm
Go to project websiteOriel Windfarm will be Ireland’s first fully operational offshore wind farm. The project will be Parkwind’s largest by capacity.
The project covers 24 km² in the Irish Sea, 22 km off the coast of Dundalk, Ireland. Its turbines will add up to 375 megawatts in capacity to power approximately 300,000 households – significantly contributing to Ireland’s renewable energy target. Oriel Windfarm is being jointly developed by Parkwind and ESB, Ireland’s leading electricity utility majority owned by the Irish Government. Development of the project began in 2003, and Parkwind entered the project in 2017. The partnership with ESB was created in 2019.

Nobelwind
Go to project websiteNobelwind is Parkwind’s third offshore wind energy project. Located 47 km from shore in the Belgian North Sea, Nobelwind’s 50 turbines over 19.8 km² power approximately 190,000 households.
The project secured Parkwind’s leading role in wind energy in the Belgian North Sea and included new advances in data collection and Parkwind’s first research and development ventures. The project also marks Parkwind’s first collaboration with Japanese shareholders Sumitomo, who remain a key partner in new development projects as well.

Belwind
Belwind is Parkwind’s first wind energy project and one of Belgium’s first offshore wind farms that has celebrated its 10 years in 2020. Located 49 km from shore in the North Sea, Belwind is one of the most distant offshore wind farms of this Belgian development zone.
Fifty-six turbines spread over 17 km² generate enough green energy to power the equivalent of 160,000 homes. Belwind was one of the world’s largest wind farms at the time. It set the momentum of offshore development in the region and its scale showcased the technology as one of the best routes towards a carbon free future. Used as a testing ground for several R&D projects – including testing of the largest wind turbine at the time – helped Parkwind and the industry make important steps in advancing offshore wind technologies.
