Preliminary activities such as marking conservation-worthy assets will commence early next year.

It will be followed by the clearing of land for roads and crane sites. The delivery and installation of the wind turbines is set for early 2025, with contribution to the local power grid by the end of that year.

SR Energy CEO Peter Zachrisson said: “The Horshaga wind farm will give southern Sweden a welcome addition of renewable energy, enabling regional development and electrification of industry.”

The project marks SR Energy’s second wind farm development in the Uppvidinge municipality.

Uppvidinge is part of Sweden’s electricity ‘region 4, ‘which has the largest shortfall of locally produced electricity compared to consumption in Europe.
