Blakliden Fäbodberget

The wind farm comprises 84 turbines – 50 in Blakliden and 34 in Fäbodberget. The total height of the turbines is 180 metres up to the outermost tip of the rotor blades, and the rotor diameter is 136 metres. 

Construction of Blakliden Fäbodberget began in 2018 and the wind farm was commissioned in 2022. The final months of construction took place in challenging weather conditions, with temperatures sometimes dropping as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Landscape and environment

Blakliden Fäbodberget is located in the Stöttingfjället mountain range. The two areas, Blakliden and Fäbodberget, consist of production forests and large wetland areas. The higher areas contain old primeval forest.

Vattenfall is committed to caring for wildlife, as well as ensuring cultural and social sustainability. The large wetlands are protected from exploitation to ensure they maintain their ecological function. A monitoring programme for golden eagles is currently being carried out in collaboration with the ornithological association Kungsörnsgruppen Västerbotten.

Relationships with the two local Sami villages are important, and reciprocal information meetings are held yearly.
