Wind farms

At the end of 2013, wind power plants (WKA) with an installed capacity of 4,470 MW were in operation in Sweden ; Sweden was in 8th place in Europe. As of June 2017, 897 wind farms were recorded in Sweden (some of these are either individual wind farms or planned wind farms). According to The Wind Power , wind farms with a total output of 8,985 MW were in operation at the end of 2019, 191 MW of which was offshore.

List of individual examples, with particular reference to the large Markbygden project:

Name of the wind farm	Inst. Power (MW)	number	status
Blaiken	250	100	in operation
Lillgrund	110	48	in operation
Markbygden - pilot phase - dragalids	24	12	in full operation since December 2010
Markbygden - pilot phase - Stor-Blåliden	-	8th	Start of construction in 2016
Markbygden - construction phase 1 / partial area 1 = first floor	183	77	under construction (as of June 2018)
Markbygden - construction phase 1 / area 2 = Skogberget	84	36	built (as of August 2018)
Markbygden - construction phase 1 / area 3 = Markbygden ETT	650	179	under construction (as of June 2018)
Markbygden - construction phase 2	1,300	440	Building approval December 2015
Markbygden - construction phase 3	1,800	442	Building approval March 2016

Note: The Markbygden project is marketed with the number 1101 . The number stands for the number of wind turbines, which can change somewhat with the construction of the project, but should exceed the number 1100.
