Wind farm Ran has the potential to 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.
Ran is a collaboration project 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.
The development of Ran has been paused since March 2026 due to the Swedish Armed Forces concerns. We continue to share our knowledge and solutions in the forums where the future collaboration between the defence sector and the energy system is being shaped.
One example is our work within the research project SAFEWIN, where we collaborate with FMV, Blekinge Institute of Technology and SEI. Together, we are exploring new opportunities for civil–military cooperation at sea, with the goal of strengthening both the resilience of the energy system and Sweden’s total defence.
We are also advocating for increased dialogue with the Armed Forces and other authorities on how we can best contribute to strengthened preparedness. Read more about our security concept here.
In addition, OX2 is investigating, together with SMHI, Stockholm University and NORCE, the possibility of oxygenating the deep waters of the Baltic Sea using oxygen from hydrogen production in connection with offshore wind power. Read more here.

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.
Här ger vi svar på de vanligaste frågorna om havsbaserad vindkraft och vindpark Ran.
