According to the Swedish Energy Agency's wind power strategy from earlier this year, the number of turbines will increase to between 5,000 and 12,000 turbines by the year 2040.
The government is now investigating whether the so-called municipal veto can be removed , which has stopped over 1,200 wind turbines since 2014.
At the same time, the wind turbines are getting taller – sometimes more than 150 meters high.
If you can raise the height to 200-250 meters, the number needs turbines will not be as many, however, says Johan Svensson, researcher in ecology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, to Aftonbladet.
– It will be difficult to find places in Sweden where you do not see at least one turbine, he says.
