Otsuste edastamine 13 Rootsi meretuulepargi menetluses
Rootsi on piiriülese keskkonnamõju hindamise konventsiooni (Espoo konventsiooni) alusel teavitanud
menetluse lõpetamise otsustest seoses 13 Rootsi meretuulepargi projektiga1.
04.11.2024 otsustas Rootsi Valitsus jätta tegevusload andmata 13 meretuulepargi projektile ning tagastada
vastavad taotlused. Menetlused lõpetati, kuna Rootsi kaitseväe hinnangul oleks antud meretuuleparkide
rajamine vastuolus Rootsi riigikaitseliste huvidega.
Tegevusloa taotlus tagastati ning menetlus lõpetati järgmistes projektides (otsused on rootsikeelsed):
1. „Skåne havsvindpark“ (otsus),
2. „Södra Victoria“ (otsus),
3. „Beta“ (otsus),
4. „Cirrus“ (otsus),
5. „Arkona“ (otsus),
6. „Dyning“ (otsus),
7. „Neptunus“ (otsus),
8. „Aurora“ (otsus),
9. „Erik Segersäll“ (otsus),
10. „Pleione“ (otsus),
11. „Skidbladner“ (otsus),
12. „Delta North“ (otsus),
13. „Triton“ (otsus)
Eesti on varasemalt avaldanud soovi osaleda meretuuleparkide „Delta North“, „Erik Segersäll“,
„Skidbladner“ ja „Pleione“ piiriülese keskkonnamõju hindamise menetlustes2.

Distribution of final decissions regarding 13 planned offshore windfarms in
Swedish EEZ in the Baltic Sea
In accordance with Article 6 of the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in
a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention), The Swedish Environmental Protection
Agency hereby provides above listed parties to the Convention with the Swedish
government’s final decision regarding the permit application for 13 offshore windfarms
in the Baltic Sea.
On the 4th of November 2024, the Swedish government announced their decission for
the planned offhore windfarms: “Skåne havsvindpark”, “Södra Victoria”, “Beta”,
“Cirrus”, “Arkona”, “Dyning”, “Neptunus”, “Aurora”, “Erik Segersell, “Pleione”,
“Skidbladner”, “Delta North” and “Triton”.
The Swedish government has rejected the above mentioned applications for permit
under the Act (1992:1140) on the Swedish Economic Zone for the establishment and
operation of offshore wind farms, including the application for permits under the
Continental Shelf Act (1966:314) for the laying of underwater cables.
Reasons for the Government's Decision
Below is a summary of the government's decision, please note that the summary is
written by the Environmental Protection Agency. The entire decision is attached to this
letter and must be read in its entirety.
Scope of Review
The government is to assess whether a permit can be granted under Section 5 of the Act
on the Swedish Economic Zone for the establishment, operation, and decommissioning
of Offshore Wind Farms within the Swedish Economic Zone. In these assessments, the
government shall apply, among other provisions, Chapters 2–4, Section 5, Sections 3–5,
and Section 18 of the Environmental Code (cf. Section 6 of the Act on the Swedish
Economic Zone).

Permissibility
Site Selection
The Swedish Armed Forces have provided an opinion on the impact of the planned
offshore wind farms on national interests for the military component of national
defense. The Armed Forces assess that the wind farms will conflict with national
defense interests.
The government finds, in an overall assessment, that the proposed activity, despite the
addition of fossil-free electricity production and the proposed precautionary measures,
cannot be permitted due to the area's significance for defense interests. Therefore, the
conditions to grant the requested permit are lacking, and the application should be
rejected.
Given this outcome, the government finds no reason to consider the application for a
permit under the Continental Shelf Act for the laying of underwater cables for the wind
farm in question. The case should thus be dismissed from further processing.
The government has based their decision on the regulations in Chapter 3 sections 9-10
of the Environmental Code.
According to Chapter 3, Section 9 of the Environmental Code, land and water areas that
are significant for national defense should be protected, as far as possible, from actions
that could significantly counteract national defense interests. Areas that are of national
interest due to their importance for defense installations shall be protected from actions
that could significantly hinder the establishment or use of these installations.
If an area is of national interest for multiple conflicting purposes, preference shall be
given to the purpose or purposes that best promote the long-term management of land,
water, and the physical environment. If the area or part of it is needed for a national
defense installation, defense interests shall take precedence (Chapter 3, Section 10 of
the Environmental Code).
