class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two Swedish economists have issued a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kvartal.se\/artiklar\/pengarna-borta-med-vinden\/\">warning<\/a>&nbsp;that the country\u2019s wind-power industry is on the brink of a wave of bankruptcies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christian Sandstr\u00f6m and Christian Steinbeck analysed wind-power companies\u2019 annual reports in Sweden and their work revealed \u201csignificant financial problems\u201d, they told Swedish media outlet&nbsp;<em>Kvartal<\/em>&nbsp;on February 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe total loss for the years 2017\u20132022 amounted to 13.5 billion Swedish krona [\u20ac1.2 billion], which meant a loss margin of 39 per cent,\u201d they said about the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such heavy losses seem to be the rule rather than the exception for wind-power companies in Sweden, according to the annual reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Swedish Government has been pushing its national energy policies in a \u201cgreen\u201d direction, promoting wind power and decommissioning nuclear power plants. But the cost appears to be much more painful than previously thought, the economists stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"sv\" dir=\"ltr\">Vi befinner oss i b\u00f6rjan av en konkursv\u00e5g inom vindkraftsindustrin, skriver ekonomerna Christian Sandstr\u00f6m och Christian Steinbeck.

The biggest farms make the biggest losses and only moderate-sized wind farms, with between 20 and 30 turbines, are turning any profits and those are at best described as \u201cmodest\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Costs have failed to come down despite growing experience among those operating in the sector and the researchers did not observe any correlation between time elapsed and increased electricity production from existing turbines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust as sailors on sailing ships once had to pray to higher powers for wind to get somewhere, wind farms can only wait for the right amount of wind,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, just 20 per cent of wind turbines in Sweden are Swedish owned. The rest are operated by foreign enterprises. Some 13 per cent of the reviewed turbines are Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sandstr\u00f6m and Steinbeck said the Chinese investors made their calculations based on \u201cwind mapping\u201d carried out by the Swedish Energy Agency and they have doubts about the accuracy of the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also hammering profits is the fact that large parts of the Swedish wind-power industry cannot transfer or save power over-generation, meaning electricity needs to be consumed instantly or not at all \u2013 making it effectively unsustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few wind farms in the South of the country have gained financial momentum in recent years but all the others are stacking up more losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The academics noted that the change in the Swedish energy mix \u2013 decommissioning nuclear plants in favour of wind power \u2013 was politically driven and that no robust, financial independent industry has subsequently emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A peculiar paradox also haunts the sector, the economists stressed. Low levels of wind leads to high electricity prices yet it also hinders electricity delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the flip side, when the wind is more powerful, oversupply drives down prices when there is ample electricity for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is difficult to see a way out of this dilemma,\u201d Sandstr\u00f6m and Steinbeck concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An ancient German forest featured in the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm is being partially cut down in favour of 241-metre tall wind turbines. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tByda88tQi\">https:\/\/t.co\/tByda88tQi<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Brussels Signal (@brusselssignal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brusselssignal\/status\/1732407178881847612?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 6, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Swedish economists have issued a\u00a0warning\u00a0that the country\u2019s wind-power industry is on the brink of a wave of bankruptcies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":309669,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Two Swedish economists have issued a\u00a0warning\u00a0that the country\u2019s wind-power industry is on the brink of a wave of bankruptcies.","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691818526,691818118,691827662,691818876],"class_list":{"0":"post-309664","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-bankruptcy","9":"tag-green-energy","10":"tag-significant-financial-problems","11":"tag-sweden","13":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/0-Swedish-wind-power.jpeg?fit=1600%2C901&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1iyA","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":287959,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=287959","url_meta":{"origin":309664,"position":0},"title":"Europe\u2019s Largest Wind Farm Facing\u00a0Bankruptcy","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"14\/11\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Europe's largest onshore wind farm is facing bancruptcy and has filed for reconstruction with Swedish court.
