CIP, Lhyfe, and Flexens Collaborate on Åland Energy Island Project
This initiative seeks to integrate large-scale offshore wind energy generation with hydrogen production on Åland, an archipelago between Sweden and Finland.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) from Denmark, in collaboration with Lhyfe from Nantes, France, and Flexens from Helsinki, Finland, have jointly unveiled the ambitious Åland Energy Island project.
This initiative seeks to integrate large-scale offshore wind energy generation with hydrogen production on Åland, an archipelago between Sweden and Finland. The ultimate goal is to develop substantial hydrogen production on Åland, coupled with gigawatt-scale offshore wind installations in Åland waters.
This hydrogen will be used both on the islands and in the broader European region, contributing to enhanced energy security and decarbonization. The project's specific configuration will be developed in close coordination with the local government and other stakeholders.
The consortium, comprising CIP, Lhyfe, and Flexens, combines a range of complementary skills and expertise. CIP is a global leader in offshore wind, green hydrogen, and energy islands, while Lhyfe specializes in developing and operating onshore and offshore hydrogen facilities across Europe.
Lhyfe is even operating an offshore hydrogen production plant, powered by a floating wind turbine. Flexens, with its local knowledge of Åland, is well-positioned to contribute to hydrogen and infrastructure development, benefiting the local energy system.
Thomas Dalsgaard, a partner at CIP, underscores that the Åland Energy Island project will create value by providing a route to market for regional offshore wind energy. It aligns with Åland's goals for local job creation, energy transition, and energy independence while benefiting the wider region.
