About the project
The Swedish government announced 16 may 2023 that OX2 has received permission to build the northern part of the project Galatea-Galene on the west coast of Sweden, with a potential capacity of 400 MW. The northern part is called Galene and is named after a Greek sea nymph and the area is located about 22 km outside the city of Varberg, in Kattegatt off the coast of Halland, in the Swedish economic zone.

Sustainability
Sustainability
OX2 and our suppliers are guests in the local communities. For us, it is extremely important to create dialogue with and show respect for the people who live and work in the local area. This includes transparent communication, creating local jobs, business sector development or financial grants through community funds or property tax, depending on the market and conditions in the area.
The expansion of renewable energy should not come at the expense of nature, and it is not enough for us to mitigate climate change. We have long worked to minimize our negative impact on nature and are now taking decisive action towards our goal of nature-positive wind and solar farms by 2030.
Our projects are sustainable by design, from early planning to construction and management.
Sverige behöver den havsbaserade vindkraften nu
Sverige och världen behöver göra stora omställningar för att bromsa klimatförändringarnas effekter, där elektrifiering av industri och fordonsflotta pekas ut bland de viktigaste åtgärderna. Samtidigt har det förändrade säkerhetsläget i Europa tydliggjort vikten av att beroendet av importerad energi från Ryssland minskar. Eftersom Sveriges elnät är sammankopplat med Europas påverkas vi av höga elpriser. Sammantaget är behovet av mer svensk elproduktion är stort och akut.
