Launch Of Website
Dear Readers, We wish you a warm welcome to our newly created website. Please take a few minutes to browse through the compiled information on the Lycksele wind farm project, its effects, benefits and contributions, wind power in general and ways to contact us. The project is still being modified so not all information is…
Project
Lycksele wind farms have been under development since 2009 and have undergone various changes and modifications over time. The project is presented here in its latest version, where it is about to start construction.
The projects consist of five smaller parks that are all located in Lycksele county and include anywhere from 4 to 13 wind turbines. These are therefore individually much smaller than typical wind farms in central and northern Sweden. The five parks are divided into three different areas, called Vinliden, Fjällberg and Hornmyran.
Vinliden Wind Power
Since the end of May 2015, a legally binding environmental permit was obtained. In 2015 an application was made for a changed maximum total height, after appeals the Land and Environment Court of Appeal decided on 20 December 2021 that they did not grant leave to appeal, but upheld the Land and Environment Court’s judgment to allow an increased total height to 230 meters.
The turbines that will be installed have an installed power of 6.4 MW. The tower’s height will be 149 meters and the rotor will have a diameter of 162 meters.
Vinliden North
Consists of 4 turbines on the Vinlidenbrännan ridge and over to Hemberget.
Based on the completed Natural Values inventory and also the inventory of cultural remains, the location of the turbines has been optimized to give the highest production possible.
The turbine location and road layout have been reviewed and approved by the county board.
Vinliden South
Consists of 7 turbines on the ridge Ormberget and Fäbodbränna.
Based on the completed Natural Value Inventory and also the inventory of cultural remains, the location of the turbines has been optimized to provide the highest possible production.
The turbine location and road layout have been reviewed and approved by the county board.
Fjällberg Wind Power
Since April 2019, a legally binding environmental permit was obtained. In 2020, an extended start-up time was applied for, which was granted by the Environmental Assessment Delegation in February 2022. Where the start-up time was extended to April 1, 2028.
The turbines that will be installed have an installed power of 6.4 MW. The height of the towers will be 119 meters and the rotor has a diameter of 162 meters, this as the permit does not allow a higher total height than 200 meters.
Fjällberg North
Consists of 13 turbines and is located along a ridge between Järnnäsberget in the west to Granberget in the east, further called Fjällberg Norra.
Based on the completed Natural Value Inventory and also the inventory of cultural remains, the location of the turbines has been optimized to provide the highest possible production.
The turbine location and road layout have been reviewed and approved by the county board.
Fjällberg South
Consists of 11 turbines and is located in an area located on Lidmyrbrännan, Brånan and Långbäckrånan further called Fjällberg Syd.
Based on the completed Natural Value Inventory and also the inventory of cultural remains, the location of the turbines has been optimized to provide the highest possible production.
The turbine placement and the road layout have been reviewed and approved by the county board.
Hornmyran Wind Power
Since March 2018, a legally binding environmental permit was obtained. An application has since also been made for an extended start-up time, which was granted by the Environmental Assessment Delegation in February 2022. Where the start-up time was extended to September 13, 2027.
The turbines that will be installed have an installed power of 4.5 MW. The height of the towers will be 100 meters and the rotor has a diameter of 150 meters, this as the permit does not allow a higher total height than 175 meters.
Hornmyran
Hornmyran consists of 9 turbines and is located in an area between Hornmyrbrånan, Flakabacken further over towards Hornknösen and Mittiliden.
Based on the completed Natural Values Inventory and also the inventory of cultural remains, the location of the turbines has been optimized to provide the highest production possible.
Further detailed planning is underway to also be able to optimize road layout between the turbine sites in order to make as little land claim as possible. Final Layout has not yet been submitted to the county board for review and approval.
Transport Routes
The turbines will be shipped to the port in Holmsund, where they will be reloaded onto trucks. The planned route is then for the turbines to be transported south of Umeå to Röbäck, and then follow the E4 down to Nordmaling.
To take the road up towards Bjurholm and further past Fredrika along route 591. Then the transports follow route 365 towards Lycksele, where the different routes will differ depending on which altitude area they are going to.
Vindlänken
In order to supply their electricity to the Swedish grid, all locations need to be connected with electrical overhead lines to a new transformer station called Västerrmyriset.
This infrastructure will be built and operated by a separate company called Vindlänken, which is also administered by us.
After the substation, the
Electricity will be passed on to Vattenfall, who themselves need to build a new overhead line all the way to Tuggen, where it connects to Svenska Kraftnät.
Sustainability
On a global scale, climate change is the biggest challenge, wind and solar are the only expandable option, which increases the demand for electricity and the need for new electricity, joint work.
Users of heavy wind energy such as Denmark or Germany have already installed about 1 turbine per 10 km^2, so about 10 times more than Sweden while its population density is 10 times higher.
At a regional and local level, wind power creates local value but also comes with disturbances. There is no doubt that wind farms create disturbances such as visibility, noise, shadowing but a rigourus the authorization process is secure. We recognize that the individual perception of disorders is different.*
Modern wind turbines are engineering masterpieces and their growth in size has contributed to making electricity. They rotate more slowly so the disturbance is reduced. This helped them to be less noisy. The flashing can be synchronized and dimmed, in some countries already disabled if no planes are in sight. They have smart detection systems to protect bats and birds.
SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA
Prime Capital’s sustainability policy is based on a strong integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in their investment process and operations. strives to create company value by promoting sustainability.
Community
When a wind farm is established, not only is environmental sustainability generated, it also contributes to many local job opportunities, both within the project itself and for companies and operations in the surrounding area.
During both the construction phase and the operation phase, jobs are created. Local businesses and contractors can receive contracts for construction, transportation and maintenance, generating employment and increasing economic activity in the area.
Municipalities and regions with large production of renewable energy have good opportunities to increase regional revenues. It can be about everything from investors and entrepreneurs to the housing and food industry.
When the wind farms are in operation, money is also made available in the form of development funds that accrue to the local community where the facilities are located. During the construction phase of the project, it is us at RES that you, as a local resident, will meet, be able to talk to and ask your questions to.
We always work for good and close contact with the local community we operate in and will be available to you throughout the life of the project.
