Hjuleberg

Hjuleberg
Hjuleberg wind farm, located around 15 kilometres north-east of the town of Falkenberg in Halland County, was commissioned in 2014.

The total height of the turbines is 150 metres up to the outermost tip of the rotor blades. The rotor diameter is 113 metres.

Hjuleberg wind farm is serviced and maintained from Vattenfall's service office at the nearby Högabjär-Kärsås wind farm. Both wind farms are also monitored remotely around the clock by a surveillance centre.

Landscape and environment 

The wind farm is located in a hilly forest region with an abundance of swamps. It borders several lakes. The main vegetation is spruce and pine, interspersed with patches of broadleaf forest. Vattenfall is committed to caring for wildlife and cultural heritage, and has monitored birds of prey such as golden eagles and ospreys in the area. Both species have successfully bred since the wind farm was put into operation.

The area also contains plenty of archaeological remains and arable land with fossils. Vattenfall strives to protect these from damage.

Battery system for storing wind energy

Hjuleberg wind farm is connected to a battery energy storage system, which was commissioned in 2024. The batteries and associated power electronics are housed in 56 modules, providing a total output of 30 MW and an energy storage capacity of 35 MWh. This helps maintain balance in the electricity system, making the grid more stable.
