Wind Farms in Northern Sweden

Statkraft SCA Vind AB to Build Six Wind Farms in Northern Sweden

Statkraft SCA Vind AB, an SCA and Statkraft joint venture, is currently planning the construction of six wind farms in forested areas of Northern Sweden, predominantly on SCA-owned land.

The venture is one of Sweden's largest industrial investments, encompassing 13,500 hectares of forest and 300 to 500 wind turbines. Each turbine will stand 110 to 115 metres high and span 90 metres.

Once completed, the wind farms will provide a total of 2,800 GWh annually – renewable energy which will replace fossil fuels and thereby reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2,380,000 tonnes a year. Today, June 15 is Global Wind Day.
