Preparatory construction work on the wind farm access roads began in October, 2021. The turbines are scheduled to be installed in mid-2023.
With the Stollsaterberget project, wpd and its Swedish national subsidiary wpd Scandinavia AB, is expanding in Swedish market following commissioning of the 17 WTGs, 71.4 MW Aldermyrberget project.
wpd develops and operates onshore and offshore wind farms and solar parks, and is actively engaged in 28 countries. The company has already realized wind energy projects with around 2,400 wind turbines and an output of 5,150 MW, and is planning further projects with a total of 12,300 MW onshore, 13,800 MW offshore and 1,650 MWp solar energy, according to the company website.

TotalEnergies joined the Yunlin project, operated by wpd, with a 23 pct interest in May 2021 alongside EGCO Group and a consortium of Japanese investors led by Sojitz.
According to the release, TotalEnergies is already developing a portfolio of offshore wind projects with a total capacity of more than 6 gigawatts, of which 2/3 are bottom-fixed and 1/3 are floating. These projects are located in the United Kingdom (Seagreen, Outer Dowsing and Erebus projects), South Korea (Bada project), Taiwan (Yunlin project), and France (Eolmed project).

The on-shore wind farm will incorporate 17 Nordex Delta4000-series N163/5.7 "cold climate" turbines totaling 96.9 MW. Nordex is responsible for both the supply and the maintenance of the turbines, which are expected to come online early in 2023. The wind farm has baseload offtake agreements with two Finnish companies and is wpd's fourth joint project with Nordex in Finland.

The technology involves the dissolution of the bonding resin in weakly acidic solutions. In the manufacture of a blade, resin converts fiberglass and other polymers, as well as wood and metal parts of the blade structure into a monolithic product that can be used in the production of other commercial products.
In the process of disposal, the blade is immersed in a special solution and decomposes into primary materials, with the exception of the resin, which dissolves.
Using the new technology Siemens Gamesa manufactured the first 6 81-meter RecyclableBlade blades and signed three contracts for their use in wind turbine projects. The recyclable blades will be installed on the wind turbines of the Kaskasi power plant in Germany and on the offshore generators of the French EDF Renewables and German WPD projects.
An estimated 200,000 wind turbine blades will be buried in the ground or otherwise disposed of by 2050.
