The Segelskär project area has been identified as suitable for offshore wind power by Ilmatar. This area was not defined in the original maritime spatial plan for Åland but is incorporated into the planning procedures now conducted by the Åland Government’s Sunnanvind project. Project Sunnanvind aims to enable offshore wind power in Åland’s northern sea areas. Currently, the project is undertaking preparatory work to later auction the right of use for the areas.
The Segelskär project area is optimally located, close to Ilmatar’s Stormskär and Väderskär projects in the Åland territorial waters and Vågskär in Finland’s exclusive economic zone, which creates synergies and enables massive energy production in a very strategic location.
