The Suurhiekka offshore wind farm developed by wpd Finland (Suurhiekka Offshore Oy) was initially planned to start construction in 2014, but following delays the project’s water law permit was extended in December 2015 so that construction works had to begin by 10 May 2019 and be completed by 10 May 2029 or the permit would lapse. This set 10 May 2019 as the latest permissible start date for offshore construction activities on the Suurhiekka shoal in the Bothnian Bay, although no construction actually commenced.
