The aim of the study is to preselect suitable geographical areas for the construction of the wind farm, reported the reNEWS.biz.

Hendrikson & KO and Pondera Consult are expected to assess and model pre-selected development areas for the offshore wind farm and submit a proposal for the best location.

A decision on selecting specific areas for further development may be adopted in early 2022, the Estonian Ministry Economic Affairs said.

The two countries signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) last year that foresees the completion of the project by 2030. The wind farm is planned to have capacity between 700 MW and 1 GW.
