In the Lundåkra Bay, Aneo plans to replace four wind turbines with three modern turbines. The project will strengthen local power production in price area SE4, where the need for new power generation is high and where existing wind resources can be utilized more efficiently.
“The Lundåkra project has excellent prerequisites: strong wind resources, existing infrastructure, and a long history of local power production. By transitioning from four older wind turbines to three modern turbines, we can produce significantly more electricity. Annual power production is expected to increase from about 20 GWh to around 80 GWh. This is exactly how repowering should work – better technology, more efficient resource utilization, and more renewable power without having to start completely from scratch,” says Tomas Sjödahl, Senior Project Developer for Lundåkra Repowering at Aneo.
Wind power has been produced in the Lundåkra Bay for over 30 years. The existing turbines from 2003 and 2008 consist of four turbines of 2 MW and 2.5 MW, respectively. The new turbines will have a capacity of approximately 7 MW each.
Technological developments make a major difference. Modern wind turbines are larger, have a larger rotor sweep, and capture more wind. Greater height also provides access to stronger and more stable wind conditions. The estimated annual production of around 80 GWh is equivalent to the electricity consumption of the single-family homes in Landskrona municipality.
Comprehensive studies form the basis of the permit
The final permit comes after several years of investigation and consultation. This has included mapping of birds and bats, natural and cultural heritage values, environmental studies, geotechnical analyses, and wind measurements.
Aneo is now proceeding with detailed engineering, procurement, and planning leading up to an investment decision. The preliminary plan is to make the investment decision in 2026, start construction in 2027, and commission the plant in 2028.
More local power creates opportunities for Landskrona
For Landskrona, the project provides better conditions for future business establishments, electrification, and growth.
“This is an important signal for Landskrona. More sustainable energy is crucial for households, public services, and businesses. It is also positive that existing wind turbines can be replaced with fewer turbines based on new and more efficient technology,” says Torkild Strandberg (L), Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board in Landskrona Municipality.
A vital project for Skåne's power supply
Lundåkra Repowering comes at a time when the power supply in Skåne is a central issue for both local and regional development. Skåne is one of Sweden's most power-intensive areas but produces only a limited share of the power used locally.
At the same time, the region possesses excellent wind resources, and many existing wind farms have reached an age where repowering is highly relevant.
“Skåne must strengthen its local power supply and increase its degree of self-sufficiency to handle electrification, maintain competitiveness, and facilitate further regional development. Repowering is a tangible and important path forward because we can utilize already established wind areas more efficiently. Lundåkra shows that it is possible to develop projects all the way to a final permit, even in price area SE4, where the need for new fossil-free power generation is particularly high,” says Anna Jähnke (M), Chair of the Regional Development Committee in Region Skåne and Chair of Skåne's Electricity Commission.
Aneo takes Lundåkra Repowering to the next phase
Lundåkra Repowering is part of the Swedish wind power portfolio that Aneo acquired from RWE Renewables Sweden in April 2026. The acquisition included wind farms in operation, project development, and employees, reinforcing Aneo's presence in Sweden.
“The acquisitions of RWE's Swedish wind power portfolio and Arise have given Aneo a completely new strength and scale in Sweden – with more production, more development projects, and strong expertise. The fact that Lundåkra Repowering is now moving to the next phase is an important milestone, not least in southern Sweden where the need for more renewable energy is immense. We will continue to develop the project in a responsible manner, in close dialogue with local stakeholders, and with the ambition of creating long-term value for both the region and the energy system,” says CEO Gunnar Hovland.
