Stor-Rotliden
Stor-Rotliden wind farm is located approximately 20 kilometres north of Fredrika in the municipality of Åsele in Västerbotten County. It was commissioned in 2010.

The wind turbines have a total height of 140 metres and a rotor diameter of 90 metres. The wind farm is serviced and maintained from the operations unit in Fredrika. The wind farm is also monitored remotely around the clock by a surveillence centre.

Landscape and environment

Stor-Rotliden is located in the uplands area of Stöttingfjället. The landscape surrounding the wind farm consists of low-growing forests and wetlands. Forestry and hunting take place in the area. A monitoring programme for golden eagles is currently being conducted in collaboration with Kungsörnsgruppen Västerbotten (the Golden Eagle Group in Västerbotten).

Sami communities practise reindeer herding in the Stor-Rotliden area, and mutual information meetings are held annually to facilitate collaboration.
