Our Åskälen wind farm consists of 80 Vestas V136-3.6 MW wind turbines that were commissioned in 2020. The total installed capacity amounts to 288 MW. The site is located on the hills southwest of Hammerdal, in the municipalities of Strömsund and Östersund. Vasa Vind has been involved in both the development and construction of the wind farm and is also responsible for its operation. The wind farm is connected to Svenska Kraftnät’s main grid station in Midskog via a new 220 kV power line built by Jämtkraft Elnät.
The Munkflohögen wind farm, which is located directly west of Åskälen, shares the common site office that is centrally located in the northern part of Åskälen. The site office, completed during the construction of the Munkflohögen wind farm, was built by a local company using wood from the local area. The site office provides a very good working environment for site managers and wind power technicians.
