Building Norwegian offshore wind

Why

Building a sustainable future

Renewable energy will become the norm as nations and industries continue their path to decarbonize

As energy continues to take an evermore increasing central role in society, it’s clear that renewable energy sources hold the key to a carbon-free future and energy resilience.  Energy demand is growing, industries are electrifying, and renewables as offshore wind will become the backbone of the electricity supply.

Who

Two partners. One goal.

An alliance built on experience and
a shared vision

Established in 2021, Ventyr is Norwegian Norsea Group and Belgium’s Parkwind. Together we are set to transform Norway’s offshore wind industry.

What

Technology in harmony with nature

Ventyr at the heart of Norway’s offshore wind

Offshore wind energy has proven to be one of the most reliable, scalable, safe, and cost-effective solutions for producing green electricity. Advances in technology continue to grow opportunities for development in deeper and further zones offshore in harmony with the deep-sea ecosystems.

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.

WindWorks Jelsa

Go to project website

In 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 website

Oriel 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 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.
