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.

WindWorks Jelsa
Go to project websiteIn 2020, WindWorks Jelsa was established by NorSea, Suldal municipality and Ryfylke IKS, with Norsk Stein as partner. The purpose of our company is to explore the possibility of establishing a groundbreaking industrial plant at Jelsa in Suldal.
Our ambition is to transform today’s quarry at Jelsa into a large scale, low carbon footprint site for building and assembling floating wind turbines. A significant contribution to the development of the Norwegian offshore wind industry. We aim to support the growing floating offshore wind industry by lowering emissions and costs from the building of wind turbine generators, and basing it on 60 years of expertise from the Norwegian offshore industry.

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.
