About the project
Vasa Vind AB is exploring the possibility of applying for a permit to construct and operate a wind farm, Hissberget, located on Hissberget, Annsjöberget, Björkbodberget, and Kättjarbodberget, on the border between the municipalities of Gagnef and Leksand, approximately 4 kilometers southwest of the town of Gagnef in Dalarna.
The project consists of up to ten wind turbines with a maximum total height of 260 meters and is estimated to produce approximately 225 GWh per year, which corresponds to the household electricity needs of 45,000 detached houses. (5,000 kWh corresponds to the annual household electricity consumption of one house.)
The area represents one of the best wind conditions in the region. This is an important prerequisite for an area to be suitable for wind power, although it is far from the only one. A very important factor is, of course, that the wind farm must be able to coexist with those who live and work in the area. The goal of the project is to deliver important renewable electricity with as little impact as possible.
Would you like to experience wind power up close and are curious about what it sounds and looks like? Just over an hour from Gagnef, you can visit the demonstration site Vindpark Dalarna.
