The wind farm is a significant contribution to Vattenfall’s production portfolio and takes us one step further in our ambition to enable a fossil-free living within one generation.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Climate. Energy and Utilities Minister Dan Jørgensen were also present during the opening of the wind farm.
