Over SEK 100 billion, that is how much is invested in wind power in Sweden between 2017 and 2023. Of those 100 billion, 15 billion are estimated to be invested in J\u00e4mtland H\u00e4rjedalen.\r\n\r\n<strong>Compared to the rest of Europe<\/strong>, Sweden, together with Norway, doubtlessly has the best wind locations. Strong and even winds blow here, which is in demand when wind power plants are to be built. We also have large areas that are not populated or built on in J\u00e4mtland H\u00e4rjedalen, which makes our area even more attractive. J\u00e4mtland H\u00e4rjedalen is about the same size as Denmark and currently there are as many landborne wind turbines as there are in the entirety of Sweden. We definitely have room for more!\r\n\r\n<strong>Yet it is not<\/strong> the amount of wind turbines that is important, but the effect they can give. Today there are approximately 4,500 wind turbines in Sweden. According to an assessment from the Swedish Wind Energy Association, we will have no more than around 4,000-5,000 plants by 2040. The wind turbines in the parks in J\u00e4mtland H\u00e4rjedalen that are scheduled to be operational in 2021\/2022 have twice as much power as the power plants that were commissioned in 2019. With larger and more efficient wind turbines, the cost of the produced electricity decreases. Today, electricity from new wind power is the cheapest type of energy to produce in Sweden, without any subsidies. About 30 \u00f6re per kilowatt hour.\r\n\r\n<strong>Our largest wind farm<\/strong> is located in Munkfloh\u00f6jden\/\u00c5sk\u00e4len with over 100 wind turbines. In 2021, we have four more major parks starting operations. Skaft\u00e5sen, Raftsj\u00f6h\u00f6jden, \u00c5ndberg and H\u00e5cksj\u00f6n which have between 11 and 53 turbines per park but where a majority of the parks have more efficient turbines which provides high production.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the electricity-intensive industry<\/strong>, it is important to find areas where wind power grows and establishes itself. Here we see renewable energy sources as a whole \u2013 for example J\u00e4mtland H\u00e4rjedalen is first to launch a strategy \u2013 Roadmap for Green Hydrogen.\r\n\r\n<strong>The summary<\/strong> of the report gives a positive image of continued development in the region.\r\n\r\n<strong>With good wind locations<\/strong>, clear political direction, and cost-effective electricity production, J\u00e4mtland H\u00e4rjedalen\u2019s wind power initiative is long-term and sustainable.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b7e631 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7b7e631\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ba7bd5a\" data-id=\"ba7bd5a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad0b3e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"ad0b3e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"mfvaMRg1\"><\/div><script>if(!document.querySelector('link[href=\"https:\/\/mfstatic.com\/css\/mediaflowplayer.min.css\"]')) {var mflaMRg1=document.createElement('link');mflaMRg1.setAttribute('rel','stylesheet');mflaMRg1.setAttribute('type','text\/css');mflaMRg1.setAttribute('href','https:\/\/mfstatic.com\/css\/mediaflowplayer.min.css');document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(mflaMRg1);}if(typeof(MFPlayer)=='undefined') {var mfsaMRg1 = document.createElement('script');mfsaMRg1.setAttribute('crossorigin','anonymous');document.body.appendChild(mfsaMRg1);mfsaMRg1.onload=function(){var mfpaMRg1 = new MFPlayer('#mfvaMRg1','31CCZTUHQ3');};mfsaMRg1.src='https:\/\/mfstatic.com\/js\/mediaflowplayer.min.js';}else{var mfpaMRg1=new MFPlayer('#mfvaMRg1','31CCZTUHQ3');}<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wind power is expanding significantly.
