Sweden Approves Two Offshore Wind Farms, Rejects 11 Others

Fyrskeppet in the southern Bothnian Sea and Vidar in northern Skagerrak are the two offshore projects approved, together expected to generate up to 19 TWh annually. The government also approved a large onshore wind farm at Markbygden near Piteå, rejected 11 other offshore applications in the Gulf of Bothnia, Bothnian Sea and Västerhavet because of unacceptable impact on defence capabilities, and announced it will replace the open‑door application process with an auction system where the state first identifies suitable areas.
