Workboats Consulting is pleased to announce our partnership with Utilitas Wind in the development of the Saare-Liivi Offshore Wind Farm. This significant project aims to strengthen Estonia’s renewable energy sector and drive the country toward a greener future. Our collaboration highlights our commitment to providing comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) surveys to support sustainable offshore wind energy initiatives.

Utilitas Wind Saare-Liivi offshore wind farm: A key project for Estonia’s energy independence

The Saare-Liivi Offshore Wind Farm is strategically located in the Gulf of Riga. It falls within areas designated for wind energy development under the 2017 county-wide spatial plan for Pärnu County’s maritime area. The project envisions the installation of approximately 80 wind turbines in its first phase, delivering a total capacity of 1,200 MW and an anticipated annual electricity production exceeding 5 TWh. This substantial output is poised to contribute significantly to Estonia’s energy independence and environmental objectives.
