Skjøtningberg Wind Farm
Project Development
Renewable energy in Lebesby
Skjøtningberg, Lebesby
It has been over 20 years since the plans for the Skjøtningberg wind farm were first considered— for several reasons. The area has favorable wind conditions and is well-suited for development. There are already access roads and power lines to the area, and its proximity to the municipal center means it not only boosts the activity level in the region but also allows for significant upgrades to the power grid leading to Kjøllefjord, which in turn provides more flexibility and opportunities for industrial development.

About the Project
The framework for the proposed wind power plant is up to 70 turbines with a total capacity of approximately 420 megawatts and an annual production of about 1,500 GWh. This equates to the average electricity consumption of nearly 100,000 households.
Having said that, at Aneo, we believe in building renewable energy alongside the communities we are present in. We believe we can make a difference in accelerating the essential climate transition that our society must undergo, that a power deficit is best addressed with renewable energy, and humbly, we believe that with our experience and approach, we are the best actor to develop a power plant in a community like here in Lebesby.
Up to 70 wind turbines
We write "up to" because this is the maximum number we can accommodate in the designated area. However, we believe this will be reduced after we conduct a thorough impact assessment.
Significant power production
Based on the maximum framework, this is about 1,560 GWh. This corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of nearly 100,000 households.
Large municipal revenues
One can conservatively estimate 750,000 kroner per turbine, per year, in municipal revenue. Precise economic calculations will be part of the project, but this is a minimum.
More new jobs
A wind power plant of the proposed size would typically require between 7 and 10 permanent employees.
Why Aneo?
The renewable energy group Aneo was established in the fall of 2022 through a collaboration between the energy company TrønderEnergi and the investment fund HitecVision. We have just over 300 employees, with our headquarters in Trondheim.
Aneo is built on 70 years of experience in developing and operating large power projects and owns and operates nine wind farms in Central Norway, as well as two in Sweden and one in Finland. In fact, despite our modest size, we are Norway's second-largest developer of wind power. We operate more than 200 wind turbines and monitor production around the clock for optimal operation, efficiency, and safety.
We have extensive experience collaborating with municipalities, where we have built strong relationships with both residents, politicians, and the administration. Together with local authorities, we are creating the energy solutions of the future, with a focus on safety and presence in the local community.
One of the things that sets us apart from most of our competitors is that when Aneo seeks to build a wind power plant in a Norwegian municipality, it's with long-term intentions in mind, not to sell the project or power plant onward. We invest to build, build to own, and own to operate. This means that we are here now, during any construction process, and of course, every single day throughout the power plant's lifespan.
