With the aim of developing more wind power, SCA is investigating the possibility of establishing a wind farm in the municipality of Sundsvall.
A maximum of 22 wind turbines with a maximum total height of 290 meters are planned within the project area.
The estimated net production of electricity from 22 wind turbines in the area is expected to amount to 550 GWh per year, which corresponds to the annual need for household electricity for approximately 110,000 households. However, the actual net production of electricity may be even higher, taking into account the development of technology.

We can see growth and business opportunities in wind, bioenergy and biofuels. Rising demand for renewable and climate-friendly energy combined with the need for alternatives to oil and gas provide us with good potential to make a further contribution to the energy transition – by providing and developing sustainable energy.
Wind power is renewable and is one of the most environmentally friendly choices for extracting energy. A wind turbine of 6 MW in good wind conditions can produce approximately 18,000 MWh per year depending on the weather conditions. This equals the consumption of electricity of 900 electrically heated houses that have average electricity consumption of 20,000 KWh/year or the annual electricity consumption of 7,500 electric cars (estimated electricity consumption: approximately 2,400 kWh/year).
The core of SCA's business is the growing forest. Around this unique resource, we have a value chain based on renewable material from our own and others' forests.
