All Wind Turbines in place at Vattenfall’s Blakliden Fäbodberget

Vattenfall’s largest onshore wind farm to date is now complete. The last of the 84 turbines is now in place at Blakliden Fäbodberget in northern Sweden. The annual production of just over 1 billion kilowatt hours corresponds to the consumption of around 220,000 Swedish households. In northern Sweden, the transformation and electrification of industry and mining is under way. A lot more electricity will be needed, and Sweden’s electricity consumption is expected to double by 2045. The Blakliden Fäbodberget wind farm, providing 1.1 TWh, will be an important part of this.Construction of Blakliden Fäbodberget has now been under way for four years and in the past year around 800 components, of which 252 are rotor blades, have been transported to the wind farm, which is located in Åsele and Lycksele municipalities in Västerbotten in northern Sweden. The last turbines will soon be connected to the grid. After a trial period, the farm will go into commercial operation later this year.About 200 people are working in snow and freezing temperatures to complete the installation of the total 84 turbines.The Blakliden Fäbodberget wind farm is jointly owned by Vattenfall, Vestas and AIP Management.
