Between 2011 and 2015, BlaikenVind AB, a joint venture of Skellefteå Kraft and Fortum are building one of Europe's largest wind farms in northern Sweden. When finished, the park will consist of 90 wind power plants and have a total capacity of 225 MW. Blaiken wind farm, has been chosen as a demonstration plant by the EU's NER300 programme, one of the world's largest funding programmes for climate-neutral energy.
