Together with Odfjell Oceanwind, Source Galileo Norge will apply for a seabed lease on Utsira Nord.



Norway’s ambition is to allocate areas for 30,000 MW offshore wind production by 2040. On 29 March 2023, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in Norway announced a competition for a project area for floating offshore wind in Utsira Nord. The Utsira Nord area is located off the coast of Rogaland,  Norway.

The ministry divides the Utsira Nord area into three project areas. Installed power in each project area must be a minimum of 460 MW and a maximum of 500 MW, with a potential extension of 250 MW for each area..

We are looking forward to developing the first floating wind parks where Norwegian technology is combined with strong complementary suppliers from both Norway and Europe

Gunnar Birkeland, CEO Source Galileo Norge

The consortium of Source Galileo Norge and Odfjell Oceanwind, called UtsiraVIND, will use Odfjell Oceanwind’s proprietary solutions and suppliers for cost-competitive, industrial production of floating offshore wind parks.

The deadline for submitting applications is 1 September 2023. Expected allocation of project areas is December 2023.
