Tjärdalsberget
We are exploring the possibility of establishing a wind farm in Tjärdalsberget, just outside Stöde, in the municipality of Sundsvall.
Why?
Electricity demand is increasing, not least in our part of Sweden. We have the opportunity to contribute to the production of renewable energy—and we want to do so. The Tjärdalsberget wind farm could help create the conditions needed for new, fossil-free industrial development in Sundsvall and Timrå.
Why here?
This location offers favorable wind conditions. We also own the land, where we currently conduct ongoing forestry operations.
Considerations?
A wind farm affects people, animals, and nature. Through consultations, we have gathered input from nearby residents, and we are conducting repeated environmental inventories in the area. Based on these findings, we have already adjusted the design and size of the project—and we will make further changes before submitting the formal application.

Sustainability to us
There is an urgent need to change our society – and we have a clear picture of how to achieve this. We see a green transition, with an economy that works for both people and the environment. We see a transition to products that do not damage nature, but are instead part of the perpetual cycle. We see sustainable investments and innovations. The forest is showing the way to a fossil-free world in balance.
Development and dialogue
Wind power planning and the application for an environmental permit is a long process that can take up to ten years. SCA offers the opportunity for early dialogue, which takes place before the statutory consultation process begins in the event of a potential wind power development.
Compensation for residents nearby and the local society
A wind farm changes the landscape. In the immediate vicinity, there is also an impact from noise and shadow flicker. At present, there is no right to compensation for nearby residents, local communities, or municipalities when a wind farm is established. SCA advocates for legislation to be developed in this area. Until such legislation is in place, SCA has created a revenue-sharing model that will apply to new wind farms developed by SCA. The model grants nearby residents the right to a share of the wind turbines’ revenue.
