Stor-Rotliden

The turbines have a total height of 140 metres, measured from the base to the outermost tip of the rotor blades. The rotor diameter is 90 metres. The wind farm is serviced and maintained from Vattenfall's service office in Fredrika, and monitored remotely around the clock by a surveillance centre.

Landscape and environment

Stor-Rotliden is located in the Stöttingfjället mountain range. The highest point is around 570 metres above sea level, and the area consists of low-growing forests and wetlands. It is affected by forestry activities.

Vattenfall cares for wildlife and cultural and social sustainability. Following the construction of the wind farm, monitoring programmes for golden eagles and waders were implemented. Stor-Rotliden is currently part of a monitoring programme for golden eagles, conducted in collaboration with the ornithological association Kungsörnsgruppen Västerbotten.

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