Fasikan
At the turn of the year 2025/2026, the Fasikan wind farm was commissioned. The facility is located on SCA’s land in Bräcke Municipality, Jämtland County, and is owned by SCA.
The wind farm consists of 15 turbines, each with a capacity of 7 MW and a total height of 240 meters. The total installed capacity amounts to 105 MW.
The annual electricity production is estimated at approximately 330,000 MWh, which corresponds to the yearly electricity consumption of about 16,000 electrically heated homes.
Significant Climate Benefits
The electricity production from Fasikan helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Compared with the Nordic residual electricity mix, Fasikan contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions by 150,000 tons per year, which corresponds to the emissions from approximately 75,000 gasoline-powered cars annually.
The wind farm is thus an important contribution to the transition to a fossil-free energy system and strengthens the availability of renewable electricity in the region.

July 2025 – To install the wind turbine, wind speeds must not exceed 7 m/s. Here, a tower section is lifted into place.Photographer: Torbjörn Bergkvist
July 2025 – The drivetrain is installed in the nacelle. The drivetrain consists of a gearbox and generator, where the wind energy is converted into electricity.Photographer: Torbjörn Bergkvist
July 2025 – The hub is lifted into position on the wind turbine. The three blades are then mounted on the hub. Working at heights requires strict safety measures and fearless workers.Photographer: Torbjörn Bergkvist
September 2025 – One of the wind turbine blades is lifted into position and secured to the hub.Photographer: Torbjörn Bergkvist

Security around the wind farm
The wind farm is available for picking berries or mushrooms, hunting or hiking. But it is important to pay respect to the warning signs in the wind farm as well as the local weather conditions.
In certain weather conditions, it is dangerous to stay near wind turbines. This applies when there is a risk of ice throws from the wind turbines and in the event of thunder. In general, the risk of being hit by falling pieces of is very small, but ice formation does occur. The risk is grates at temperatures around -2 and +2 degrees, especially in fog or in combination with rain. Under these weather conditions, one should avoid being in the wind farm.

Development and dialogue
Wind power planning and the application for an environmental permit is a long process that can take up to ten years. SCA offers the opportunity for early dialogue, which takes place before the statutory consultation process begins in the event of a potential wind power development.
Sustainability to us
There is an urgent need to change our society – and we have a clear picture of how to achieve this. We see a green transition, with an economy that works for both people and the environment. We see a transition to products that do not damage nature, but are instead part of the perpetual cycle. We see sustainable investments and innovations. The forest is showing the way to a fossil-free world in balance.
