Lillgrund

Lillgrund
Lillgrund wind farm, in the Øresund sound between Denmark and Sweden, was commissioned in 2007.

The 115-metre-high wind turbines and the round transformer station in Lillgrund are located about 10 kilometres off the Swedish coast and can just be made out on the horizon.

Environmental interests were carefully considered during the planning of Lillgrund. Consideration was given to the region's flora and fauna, leisure activities, cultural environment, shipping and fishing, as well as to local residents. Vattenfall conducted environmental studies before and after construction of the wind farm. These studies addressed issues relating to fish, mussels, other marine fauna and flora, and birds.
