local case study
SwedenBayWa r.e. is planning a wind farm with 10 wind turbines and a total capacity of approximately 85 MW west of Bockara in Hultsfred Municipality. The wind farm is expected to generate around 300 GWh of renewable energy annually, equivalent to the household electricity consumption of approximately 60,000 homes.
Consultations have taken place with county administrative boards, relevant authorities, local residents likely to be affected by the project, municipalities, the public, and other key stakeholders.
The knowledge and information gathered will form the basis of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) to be submitted to the County Administrative Board.
A permit application, including the EIA, is planned for submission in 2025. Once all necessary permits are in place, the project will proceed with financing, procurement, and construction. The earliest estimated completion date for the wind farm is 2030, though it will likely take a few more years.
