Advantage Västerbotten market potential Sweden Västerbotten has the best potential for wind power in Sweden * Västerbotten 16 % of total land area Gävleborg 10 % Norrbotten 7 % Jämtland 5 % Estimated potential for 480 960 turbines in Västerbotten alone *) According to the Swedish Energy Agency s investigation 2008
Västerbotten in the Opportunity Circle Västerbotten is well suited to serve as the hub for the development of wind power in Norway, Finland and Sweden
Market potential Norway and Finland 70 % of Norway s potential for onshore wind is in the northern province of Finnmark,** which is easily reached from Skellefteå by European highways or train/road. Total potential estimated to 7 8 Twh Biggest potential in Finland along the Bothnia coast and Finnish Lapland Conclusion; the biggest expansion of wind power will be in the northern areas of Scandinavia and Finland **) Recharge magazine no. 31, 2009
Market potential Sweden and Norway Sweden and Norway has agreed on a common energy certificates market (elcertifikatmarknad), which started January 1st 2012 and extends until 2035 The goal is to strengthen the market, increase cost efficiency and to provide more renewable energy production An additional 13.2 TWh of renewable electricity will be produced between the years 2012 and 2020 Source: Swedish Energy Egency Wind Power statistics 2011
Direct support measures, new initiatives and market stimulation
The green electricity certificate system Producers of renewable electricity receive certificates from the government for each MWh produced Electricity supplier companies are obliged to purchase green certificates representing a share of the electricity they sell The sale of certificates gives producers an extra benefit in addition to revenues from electricity sales The electricity certificates can in the present shape give some economical contribution to existing solar installations
Research & Development
Education and research The region hosts two universities with comprehensive research and education within areas related to the competence required for wind power development.
