Pleione-Ran

About the project

Next eneration offshore wind

OX2 AB is developing the offshore windfarm Ran, located approximately 12 km off the eastern coast of Gotland within territorial waters, and the Pleione energy park, situated about 35 km off the eastern coast of the Gotland within Swedish exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

Both parks are expected to have a combined installed capacity of around 2.8 GW (Ran 1.8 GW, Pleione 1 GW) and generate 13 TWh (Ran 8 TWh, Pleione 5 TWh) of fossil-free energy annually, equivalent to powering 2.7 million households. Furthermore, the Pleione energy park will be able to produce 120,000 tons of offshore hydrogen. Both parks are projected to be operational by 2030.  

Accelerating the great shift  

The Ran offshore wind farm, along with the Pleione energy park, aims to significantly increase the local availability of fossil-free energy and electrical capacity for Gotland. Given Gotland's geographical location, established industries, innovative spirit, and extensive agriculture, it is well positioned to play a leading role in Sweden's transition toward achieving its climate goals by 2045. Access to fossil-free energy and electrical capacity will enable further conversion of electricity into hydrogen and other e-fuels, as well as energy storage to replace fossil fuels in various industries. Additionally, the produced hydrogen can be further refined into ammonia, which can be used for synthetic fertilizer production. 

In partnership with Ingka Investments

OX2 develops Pleione-Ran together with Ingka Investments, part of the IKEA sphere, which is a partner in the project. The IKEA sphere is a long-term owner with high climate goals. They invest heavily in renewable energy production and today own over 2 GW of renewable production. Read more here
