About the project
Högkölen wind farm is located about 30 km outside Ljusdal in Hälsingland, Gävleborg County.
The wind farm consists of 18 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 68.4 MW and an expected annual production of approximately 250 GWh. This corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of about 50,000 Swedish households (5,000 kWh per household).
The construction of the park took place between 2016 and 2018, and the park was sold to Aquila Capital in 2016. Today, the park is owned by CGNEE and Federated Hermes Infrastructure.

Sustainability
Sustainability
OX2 and our suppliers are guests in the local communities. For us, it is extremely important to create dialogue with and show respect for the people who live and work in the local area. This includes transparent communication, creating local jobs, business sector development or financial grants through community funds or property tax, depending on the market and conditions in the area.
The expansion of renewable energy should not come at the expense of nature, and it is not enough for us to mitigate climate change. We have long worked to minimize our negative impact on nature and are now taking decisive action towards our goal of nature-positive wind and solar farms by 2030.
Our projects are sustainable by design, from early planning to construction and management.
Accessibility
Accessibility
It is possible to hike, hunt, or pick berries and mushrooms in the wind farm area, with respect to the area's warning signs and prevailing weather conditions. Caution should be observed in certain weather conditions. It is unsafe to be near the wind turbines during thunderstorms and when there is a risk of ice or snow falling from the wind turbines. Therefore, please pay attention to the local weather conditions. Ice accumulation on wind turbines occurs at temperatures just above 0 °C and colder, especially during snowfall or when the turbine is covered with fog or clouds. A safety distance of at least 400 m should be maintained to each wind turbine during these conditions.
