Sweden abandoned 13 wind power projects because of Russia

The country’s government has rejected applications to build 13 wind farms in the Baltic Sea because of the defense risk.

The Swedish government has rejected applications to build 13 offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea because of the risk to the country’s defense in the event of attacks from Russia. Bloomberg reported this on Monday, November 4.

Defense Minister Paul Junson said offshore power plants could hamper submarine activity and make it more difficult to respond to any incoming missiles.

In the past, the Swedish Armed Forces have also vetoed the construction of onshore wind farms for safety reasons.

According to Jonsson, the implementation of wind farm projects will hinder the speed of Sweden’s response to any attack.

“Early warning is important both for countering ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. It is also very important for the population, which must find shelter in the event of an attack on Sweden,” said the minister.

The rejected projects could have a total output of about 140 terawatt-hours, roughly equal to Sweden’s current needs.

As is well known, Sweden’s concerns about Russian aggression intensified after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This prompted the Scandinavian country to join NATO along with Finland.

Let us remember that early residents of Sweden were urged to prepare for a possible war with Russia.
