Local Collaboration and Impact

For Vefsn Municipality, the wind farm will generate increased income through property tax and a share of the resource rent tax.

Based on an estimated production of 600 GWh and up to 180 MW installed capacity, and assuming a property tax rate of 7‰, the annual contribution is estimated at around NOK 25 million.

Upgrading the local grid alongside new renewable generation from Kovfjellet Wind will also help enable new industrial opportunities in the region.

The project is expected to create local ripple effects during construction and operation — through the purchase of local and regional goods and services, as well as employment of local personnel for operation and maintenance.
