Juktan wind farm

Juktan wind farm
Juktan wind farm is located around 70 kilometres south of the town of Sorsele in Västerbotten County. It was commissioned in 2015.

The wind turbines have a total height of 150 metres and a rotor diameter of 113 metres. The wind farm is serviced and maintained from the operations unit in Juktan. The wind farm is also monitored remotely around the clock by a surveillence centre.

Landscape and environment

The wind turbines are located in the Storblaiken mountain range, near the lake Blaiksjön and the Juktan hydro power plant. While some parts of the surrounding landscape consist of untouched wetlands and old-growth forest, other areas have been heavily affected by industrial activity. Juktan was constructed in such a way that the wetlands could retain their ecological function and the old-growth forest was protected.

Sami communities practise reindeer herding in the area around Juktan, and mutual information meetings are held annually to promote cooperation.
