[Ferro-Alloys.com]bp has agreed to join Statkraft and Aker Offshore Wind in a ‎consortium bidding to develop offshore wind energy in Norway. The partnership, in which bp, Statkraft and Aker Offshore Wind will each hold a 33.3% ‎share, will pursue a bid to develop offshore wind power in the Sørlige Nordsjø II SN2 ‎licence area. SN2’s favourable location provides power export access to local and adjacent markets. The ‎consortium also intends to explore opportunities to provide clean power to electrify ‎offshore oil and gas facilities. The partnership would work with local suppliers, building ‎industrial competencies for Norway’s offshore wind market, and contribute toward value ‎creation in the Nordic and European energy market.
