Magnora Offshore Wind, a Norwegian offshore wind developer, today announces intent to participate in the upcoming ScotWind leasing round
19.7.2021 07:00:01 CEST | Magnora ASA | Non-regulatory press releases
19 July 2021 - Magnora ASA (Magnora) has submitted applications to ScotWind
through its subsidiary Magnora Offshore Wind AS for two zones in Scotland.
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement dated 29 January and 18
March 2021, regarding entering into an agreement with TechnipFMC.
Today, Magnora Offshore Wind, a partnership between Magnora and TechnipFMC, is
pleased to announce the submission of two applications for the first round of
seabed leasing through the Scottish government's ScotWind Leasing program.
The renewable energy resource in and around Scotland is among the best in the
world. Scotland, home to the upcoming ScotWind Leasing Areas, could contribute
an additional 10 GW of clean and green energy to Scotland's drive towards CO2
neutrality by 2045. Investment in ScotWind leases could be close to £10 billion,
with supply chain and community benefits that, properly managed, could be
transformational for some of Scotland's most fragile communities. Magnora
Offshore Wind has worked closely with the local supply chain to ensure that
concepts can be realised with local sustainable solutions, which will benefit
the local economies for the next decades.
Magnora is a leader within the renewables sector as an owner in offshore wind,
onshore wind, and solar PV development projects, and is a key enabler in solar
energy technologies. When combined with TechnipFMC's unique technologies,
experience delivering integrated projects and novel Deep Purple? initiative to
integrate wind and wave energy with offshore green hydrogen storage, this
partnership will enable Magnora Offshore Wind to realize significant
opportunities in the growing offshore floating wind market. In addition, Magnora
Offshore Wind intends to participate in the first offshore wind application
round in Norway.
Torstein Sanness, executive chairman of Magnora, says: "In Magnora, you find
some of the world's leading experts within wind development. Coupled with
TechnipFMC's project management expertise and extensive service and technology
portfolio, we believe we can provide a market-leading floating offshore wind
offering."
