Electricity and hydrogen put Gotland in the spotlight
Energy farm Pleione 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.
Energy farm Pleione can generate 5 TWh of fossil-free electricity annually, which corresponds to 3.7 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.
Energy farm Pleione consists of 42–70 wind turbines and is planned to also have hydrogen facilities on specific platforms or on the foundations of the wind turbines. The total height of the wind turbines will be up to a maximum of 370 meters. The farm is planned to be operational by 2030.
Energy farm Pleione is being developed simultaneously with the sister project wind farm Ran, which you can read about here.
More information about the project can be found in Swedish.
Oxygenation of the Baltic Sea
Together with SMHI, Stockholm University, and NORCE, OX2 is participating in the research project BaltVent on the possibility of oxygenating the deep waters of the Baltic Sea with oxygen from hydrogen production in connection with offshore wind power.
In partnership with Ingka Investments
OX2 is developing Pleione 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.

Sustainability
Sustainability
OX2 and our suppliers are guests in the local communities. For us, 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.
Grievance and complaints

Vindkraft för ett friskare hav – så kan havsbaserad vindkraft syresätta Östersjön
Kan vindkraften verkligen bidra till att få tillbaka torsken i Östersjön? Ja, det tror vi på OX2. Nu deltar vi i forskningsprojektet BaltVent tillsammans med SMHI, Stockholms Universitet och The Norwegian Research Center (NORCE) för att ta reda på om det är möjligt och hur det i så fall kan göras.
