Höge Väg

Höge Väg is located near Maltesholm, around 20 kilometres south of the town of Kristianstad in Skåne County. Vattenfall has established a service office in Maltesholm to service and maintain the Höge Väg wind farm. The wind farm is also monitored remotely around the clock by a surveillance centre.

The wind turbines at Höge Väg have a total height of 150 metres, measured from the ground to the outermost tip of the rotor blades. The rotor diameter is 97 metres.

The wind farm is named after the large road that runs from the Kristianstad plains up to the Linderöd ridge and Maltesholm Castle. Built as an entrance to the castle in the 1700s, the road is now designated a cultural heritage site.

Landscape and environment  

The area consists of a contiguous upland forest with planted spruce and scattered patches of broadleaf forest. Forestry and hunting activities are carried out here.

During the project phase, Vattenfall implemented monitoring programmes for nightjars and birds of prey, and created a forest edge environment to increase biodiversity.

Battery plant for wind energy storage

Höge Väg wind farm is connected to a battery energy storage system, which was commissioned in 2025. The batteries and the associated power electronics are housed in 46 battery modules with a total output of 25 MW and an energy storage capacity of 29 MWh.  

The battery system helps to maintain the balance of the electricity system, making the grid more stable.
