Ran

Gotland’s own offshore wind farm

Wind farm Ran will help increase the availability of fossil-free energy in Sweden and strengthen the electricity capacity on Gotland. With its geographical location, established industries, innovative entrepreneurial spirit, and thriving agriculture, Gotland is well-positioned to drive Sweden’s transition journey.

Wind farm Ran can generate 8 TWh of fossil-free electricity annually, which corresponds to around 6 percent of Sweden’s current electricity needs. The availability of fossil-free energy and increased electricity capacity provides opportunities to further process electricity into hydrogen and other e-fuels that can serve as energy carriers for storage purposes, fuels, replacements for fossil fuels in industry, or to produce green fertilizers.

Wind Farm Ran will consist of 90–121 wind turbines. The total height of the wind turbines will be up to a maximum of 310 meters. The park is planned to be operational by 2032.

Information about wind farm Ran’s sister project Pleione can be found here. In Pleione, offshore wind power is planned to be combined with hydrogen production and oxygenation of the bottom waters of the Baltic Sea. 

More information about the project can be found in Swedish.

In partnership with Ingka Investments

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