THE JOURNEY OF 1101*
Follow us and the development of Europes biggest windfarm on land
THE ROAD TO A GREENER SOCIETY
Svevind is a privately owned company in the wind power industry, based in Piteå in northern Sweden where the company primarily operates. The company plans, develops, realises, sells and operates onshore wind power projects. The projects vary in size and scope from single turbines up to farms of 1,101* turbines.
EUROPE’S LARGEST ONSHORE WIND FARM IS GROWING QUICKLY
Markbygden 1101* is the name of the project initiated by Svevind back in 2001. It has been a long journey, with Svevind steadfast at the helm, towards realising the largest onshore wind power project in Europe and one of the largest-ever industrial projects. In Piteå, in the county of Norrbotten, nup to 1,101* wind turbines are emerging, which together will produce up to 12 TWh per year. This is comparable with the total production of the hydropower plants along the Lule River (14 TWh).

WE’RE LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE ENERGY OF TOMORROW
To date, we have put forward 1,176 sites with permission for establishing wind farms – from single turbines to Europe’s largest onshore wind farm. Find out more about what we’ve achieved so far to help cater for the energy supply needs of tomorrow.
A CENTRAL ROLE IN SWEDEN’S FUTURE ENERGY PRODUCTION
SVEVIND BELIEVES IN WIND POWER AS AN ENERGY SOURCE OF THE FUTURE
Wind power is a renewable source of energy provided by nature. The operation of wind turbines does not produce any emissions or require any environmentally damaging transportation of fuel, and wind power is a long-term sustainable source of energy. Between 2012 and 2017, electricity produced using wind power plants in Sweden increased by 240% according to the Swedish Energy Agency and Statistics Sweden.

FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Svevind wants to help to combat global warming and make Sweden self-sufficient in terms of renewable energy. Our focus is wind power – a source of energy with very good future prospects which does not leave an environmental debt for future generations to repay. Svevind conducts careful planning and analyses to ensure that the green energy yields are as high as possible. We are developing our methods to ensure that our neighbours also benefit from wind power.
