What is the SWC's vision for wind power in Nordic conditions?
Our vision is a robust and sustainable energy system. Lehtirova wind farm. Photo: Joakim Lagercrantz, OX2. The SWC conducts research in five research themes about wind power in Nordic conditions: Planning of wind power, Siting, Turbine, Operation and Maintenance and Electrical System Integration.
What is Swedish Wind centre?
Swedish Wind Centre, SWC, is a hub for and develops research-based knowledge about wind power. SWC wants to make knowledge about wind power available and easy to understand for everyone. Our vision is a robust and sustainable energy system. Lehtirova wind farm. Photo: Joakim Lagercrantz, OX2.
Do Swedish municipalities use wind power planning?
The results show that about two-thirds of Swedish municipalities have conducted wind power planning in some form, but this basis for decision-making has become outdated due to a lack of institutional capacity at the municipal level.
Will a downward trend affect wind power deployment in Sweden?
This downward trend is likely to affect the pace of wind power deployment during the coming decades and Sweden’s ability to reach the set planning target (Ibid.). Swedish wind power governance and planning is situated in a multi-level governance context .
Does Sweden have a wind power strategy?
Sweden is one of many countries facing a rapid expansion of wind power. As a part of Sweden’s ambition to have 100% renewable electricity production in , the Swedish Energy Agency and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency have developed a national wind power strategy.
How old is wind power planning in Sweden?
The first main finding is that about two-thirds of Swedish municipalities have conducted wind power planning in some form; however, most spatial wind power analyses are around a decade old.

National Overview of Municipal Wind Power Planning PracticeSpatial Sustainability Considerations in Wind Power Planning and PermittingInsights from Practitioners on Municipal Wind Power PlanningPrior to unravelling the spatial sustainability considerations made in wind power planning and permitting, certain characteristics regarding the municipalities’ trade-offs should be disclosed. One of the studied municipalities has explicitly stated that they do not want any more wind power to be established within their geographical area. Moreover,See more on energsustainsoc.biomedcentral.comipstconf.org[PDF]
