Lillgrund Wind Farm is located about 10 km off the coast of southern Sweden, just south of the Öresund Bridge, where average wind speeds are 8to. With 48 wind turbines (Siemens SWT-2.3-93) and a capacity of 110 megawatts (MW), Lillgrund is Sweden's largest offshore wind farm.[1] It was designed to meet the domestic electricity demand of more than 60,000 homes.[2] The farm's turbines have a rotor diameter of 93 metres and a total height of 115 metres.[3]

A 2016 study found no significant effect on marine life.[4] [5]

The music video for "Peroxide", a song by British-Swedish singer Ecco2K included on his studio album E (2019), was filmed at the Lillgrund Wind Farm.[6]
