The government today approved Skyborn’s 1.4 GW Fyrskeppet project and, separately, Vattenfall and Zephyr’s 1.4 GW Vidar wind farm, both with a 10-year construction deadline. Skyborn’s managing director for Sweden, Niclas Broman, stated that the consent alone does not guarantee construction because Sweden lacks a risk-sharing mechanism such as two-sided Contracts for Difference and state-backed credit guarantees; Vattenfall made a parallel warning that “no conditions for investments” currently exist. The government also rejected 11 other offshore wind applications on national security grounds, including Skyborn’s Eystrasalt and Polargrund projects.
