Kårehamn Offshore wind farm

Kårehamn Offshore wind farm was finalised by 2013 and is one of few operating offshore wind farms in Sweden.

Project introduction

The windfarm is located in the Swedish part of the Baltic Sea, close to Öland and about 7 kilometres offshore from the village of Kårehamn.

It consists of 16 Vestas V112 wind turbines, each 76,9 meters tall with a capacity of 3 MW. The windfarm delivers electricity to 34,000 households – about half of the population of Öland. RWE Renewables invested EUR 120 million in the construction and operation of the wind park.
