Raftsjöhöjden

Our Raftsjöhöjden wind farm is located northeast of the village of Raftsjöhöjden which is a few miles west of Hammerdal in Strömsund municipality, Jämtland county. The Raftsjöhöjden wind farm was commissioned in early 2022 and consists of 11 GE 5.5 MW-158 wind turbines. The total installed capacity amounts to 60.5 MW.

Vasa Vind has been involved in both development and construction and is now responsible for the operation of the plant. 

The wind farm is connected to the grid at the nearby transformer station at Ollebacken to Jämtkraft’s 130 kV line between Ollebacken and Kattstrupeforsen. A site office has been built between Raftsjöhöjden, Sikåskälen and Ollebacken.

The Raftsjöhöjden wind farm is located less than a mile north of the Munkflohögen and Åskälen wind farms, which were commissioned in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

Do you have any questions?

Do not hesitate to contact the site manager - Tomas Lif.

Staying in the wind farm

Within the area you can still hike, ski and snowmobile, pick berries and mushrooms, etc. However, in certain weather conditions you need to be alert and pay particular attention to the warning signs. When temperatures approach zero degrees or colder, there is a risk of ice and snow falling from wind turbines and masts. For your safety, you should avoid being near wind turbines and masts due to the risk of falling ice and snow.

There are buried cables and pipes within the wind farm. If you (as a landowner or contractor) are going to dig or carry out work with machinery within the wind farm area, it is important to contact the site manager well in advance to ensure that neither you nor the wind farm’s equipment is damaged.

If you notice a turbine noise or anything else that seems abnormal, please contact us immediately. If you have questions or other concerns, you can also reach us at Vasa Vind via:
