Estonia could soon be hosting one of the world’s biggest offshore wind farms, an investor claimed on March 26, as development of the renewable energy at the eastern end of the Baltic Sea finally starts to lift off.
Baltic Blue Energy – owned by local transport and energy mogul Endel Siff – announced on March 26 that it has submitted an application for permission to build a 2.7-gigawatt (GW) wind farm at the western end of the Estonian coast, between Hiiumaa and Saaremaa islands (Biosphere Reserve). However, instead of the full 388 turbines that would signify, BBB said it plans to limit the project to 1.9GW for now.
