Quarrying for the Hocksjön wind farm in Sollefteå

In the Hocksjön wind farm outside Sollefteå, Norrbottens Bergteknik has been commissioned to open a quarry and extract 200,000 tonnes of rock.

Hocksjön is located west of Sollefteå. The wind power project is backed by Jämtkraft and Person Invest.

Up to 30 wind turbines will be built on the site. The plant is expected to produce about 450 GWh/year of renewable energy, equivalent to the energy of about 90,000 households.

The facility is expected to be completed in 2022.
