Sweden has a total of 16.4 GW of wind power capacity at the end of 2023, the 5th highest in Europe and most per capita. Wind power produced 20.9% of national electricity generation in 2023, up from 0.3% in 2000. In July 2024, the Swedish Wind Energy Association (SWEA) projected that cumulative wind power capacity in the country will rise to 19.5 GW by the end of 2026. Longer-term pr. Future developmentsThe 's (IEA) Wind Technology Collaboration Programme 2021 report outlines Sweden's progress in wind energy. By 2021, Sweden had achieved a total wind power capacity of 12.116 MW. .
The Association for Swedish Landscape Protection is in opposition to wind power. Their chairman says: It is beginning to get through, I think, that with the existing nuclear and hydro power available i. .

The building of the pumped-storage power plant is connected with the upper basin by 6-pressure reinforced concrete and metal pipelines with a diameter of 3.8 m. The upper basin was created at a height of 70 m above the level of the Kyiv reservoir with a useful volume - 3700000 cubic meters, where during the night decrease in energy consumption in the power system water is pumped. The upper reservoir is discharged in the evening hours at the ti.
