Vattenfall welcomes the Swedish Government’s decision to grant construction permit of an offshore wind farm at Swedish Kriegers Flak. Vattenfall’s application covers 40 to 50 wind turbines with a total capacity of approximately 640MW.
With the permit from the Government, the project is now taking an important step forward. However, the major challenges of securing necessary permits as well as the electricity grid connection on land, are prerequisites for completing the wind farm. Vattenfall is planning for a possible investment decision in 2025. Kriegers Flak is located 30 km south of Trelleborg, Sweden. The wind farm can be commissioned around 2028, if everything goes according to plan. Vattenfall’s application pertains 40–50 wind turbines with a maximum height of 280 meters.
