ÂLMIDEN WIND
POWER PROJECT
Nordisk Vindkraft has constructed a wind farm of 29 turbines in Åmliden, close to Malå in the county of Västerbotten, Sweden. It is situated in the forest on the Åmliden peak. Its location is favorable with few conflicting interests and the wind farm has been erected with minimal environmental impact. The area is designated as being of national interest for wind power.
The project obtained its permission in accordance with “Miljöbalken” (The Environmental Act) on April 19, 2010. Construction commenced in 2011 and started operating in November 2012.
