Welcome to SOWE – the southwest Norway
Gateway to offshore wind
Located on the very tip of Norway, SOWE is the natural gateway to offshore wind and other activities in the North Sea.
This is where man settled when the ice withdrew from the continental shelf off the Norwegian coast some 10.000 years ago. Here, ships of traders and fishermen first hit land when travelling northwards.
With its idyllic towns, many beaches and bustling boating scene the region is now a firm favourite among tourists. Regulation of nearby waterfalls has attracted some of the largest power processing companies in the world to establish production in the area.
SOWE includes the municipalities of Farsund, Lyngdal, Flekkefjord, Kvinesdal, Sirdal and Haegebostad. We offer regulated industrial plots close to deep sea ports and with a well-developed infrastructure.
The rapid growing demand for energy in Europe, represent a big challenge for all of us. We want to contribute by establishing the new offshore wind centre in Norway.
