Norway plans park of 250 windmills at sea

06-02-09 The company Troms Energy is planning to build a gigantic park of 250 windmills outside the coast of northern Norway. The total costs of the project could be up to EUR 2.5 bn.
The planned windmill park outside the coast of northern Norway will produce 2 % of Norway's total energy production. That's four times the size of one of Norway's largest hydro power plants in Alta. The park shall also be able to use wave energy.

"Our goal is to be Norway's top company on wind energy technology," says Oddbjorn Schei in Troms Kraft.
The windmill park will occupy a large area at sea and some of the mills will reach up to 110 meter above sea level.
