Ilmatar has launched the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) programme for the 4 GW Bothnia Offshore wind project, located in the Finnish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), Finland. The EIA work is carried out in cooperation with Ramboll Finland.

The project proceeds to the consultation phase and is divided into two sub-areas, Bothnia and Bothnia West. During development, the areas have been optimized and thus reduced – Bothnia is now about half its original size, and Bothnia West has been reduced by about 40%.

Together, the two areas cover nearly 1.200 km2 and have a potential energy production capacity of 4 GW.
