Published:
The Leuven-based company Parkwind has been active in the field of renewable energy sector for many years. Parkwind has already built four offshore wind farms off the coast of West Flanders. Parkwind was part of the Colruyt group but has since been sold to a Japanese company.
Parkwind says that it fought long and hard for the project in Norway. Other candidates included big international names such as Shell and BP.
Parkwind formed an alliance with Ingka, the family holding company that owns the furniture retailer Ikea. The first turbines at the offshore wind farm should be up and running by 2030. The wind farm will be Norway’s first offshore wind farms.
