List of offshore wind farms in Sweden

This is a complete list of operational, offshore wind farms in Sweden (within the national maritime boundaries).

This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources, [1][2] and commercial sources. The name of the Wind Farm is the name used by the Energy Company when referring to the Farm and is usually related to a shoal or the name of the nearest town on shore. The Wind Farm part is implied and hence removed for clarity.

The list is sorted by capacity, but it can be sorted in any way by clicking the symbol >< at the top in each column.

"Cap." is the rated nameplate capacity of the wind farm
"When" is the year when the windfarm was commissioned and put into service.
"Cost" is the total capital cost of the project up to commissioning.
"Cap. Fac." is the average capacity factor, i.e. the average power generated by the windfarm, as a percentage of its nameplate capacity.
"km to shore" is the average distance of the windfarm to shore, or (where available) the distance from the in-farm transformer/substation to the shore
"Depth range (m)" is the range of minimum to maximum depths of water that the windfarm is sited in
"Refs" cite the source references for the information. The [w ...] footnotes link to each windfarm's own home page
