The Swedish government has made the decision to deny Vattenfall's request to construct the 864 MW Stora Middelgrund offshore wind project. Vattenfall stated that it will conduct a thorough analysis of the decision's implications. The rejection of the project was primarily motivated by concerns over potential harm to delicate natural resources. Additionally, the negative impact on national shipping interests played a significant role in the government's assessment.
The main reason behind the Swedish government's refusal of Vattenfall's application was the perceived threat to the region's sensitive ecological values. The government stressed that the proposed wind farm had the potential to cause harm to natural resources in an unacceptable manner. The decision highlights the government's commitment to safeguarding the environment and preventing undue damage to delicate ecosystems.
Vattenfall had anticipated that Stora Middelgrund would generate approximately 2.5 TWh to 3 TWh of electricity each year, which would be sufficient to power roughly 500,000 households.
