Deep Wind Offshore has applied for an area lease, for one floating and one bottom-fixed offshore wind project, on the Chilean coastline.
The projects are slated to be managed and operated locally.
The launch was marked with an event in Concepción in late October. Minister of Economy, Development and Tourism Nicolas Grau and Minister of Energy Diego Pardow gave video speeches.
“Adding another continent to our world map is a great milestone for Deep Wind Offshore,” says Petter Øvrevik, CCO of Deep Wind Offshore.
“After carefully considering several markets in Latin America, we decided to enter Chile because the country has very strong fundamentals in terms of world class wind resources, growing demand for renewables, well defined regulatory regime and a friendly investment climate. To succeed, co-existence is crucial, and we will develop these projects together with local communities and other users of the sea. Deep Wind Offshore will provide clean electricity, supporting the governmental targets towards net zero emissions. We will provide new climate friendly, qualified jobs, supporting transition from traditional industries.”
