How Wind Power Creates Local Benefits

Expanding onshore wind power in Sweden is a key part of meeting the country's growing demand for electricity. In recent years, several new decisions have been made and proposals introduced to ensure that wind power contributes to local communities and development—not only through reliable local electricity generation, but also through tangible local benefits. Learn more about how wind power creates value for local communities, including economic benefits for municipalities and nearby residents, in this brochure from Green Power Sweden.

Sometimes local residents have concerns about how a project will affect them and the local environment. There are also myths and misconceptions about renewable energy that we are very used to dealing with. A key issue for us in project development is therefore also communication and dialogue with the local community.

We always work to ensure that people living in the vicinity of a planned wind or solar farm feel informed and involved. Wherever possible, we are happy to adjust and adapt our projects based on the views expressed in dialogue with the local community. The best projects are developed together with local people.
