Skogberget wind farm
The Skogberget Wind Farm consists of 36 wind turbines located in Markbygden, Piteå Municipality. The Swedish Energy Agency has designated Markbygden as an area of national interest for wind power.
SCA acquired the wind farm from the German company Enercon on December 21, 2022.
Skogberget consists of a total of 36 turbines with a combined installed capacity of approximately 85 MW.
The annual electricity production of the facility is estimated at 180 GWh.
The wind farm was commissioned in 2014 and has an estimated remaining technical lifespan of around 20 years.

Health and safety
With a zero accident vision, we work for an accident-free and healthy SCA.
The project is available for picking berries or mushrooms, hunting or hiking. But it is important to pay respect to the warning signs in the wind farm as well as the local weather conditions.
In certain weather conditions, it is dangerous to stay near wind turbines. This applies when there is a risk of ice throws from the wind turbines and in the event of thunder. In general, the risk of being hit by falling pieces of is very small, but ice formation does occur. The risk is grates at temperatures around -2 and +2 degrees, especially in fog or in combination with rain. In these weather conditions, you should not be closer than 250 m from the wind turbines.
