The largest oshore wind farm in Sweden, and one of the largest in all of Europe, is located seven kilometers o Malmö’s coast. At Lillgrund, HOCHTIEF Solutions built the foundations for the 48 large wind plants and one transformer. A special technical challenge inherent in this project was the precision placement of the massive foundation elements. With an output of 110 megawatts, the wind farm generates some 350 gigawatt- hours of electricity—enough to power about 60,000 Swedish homes. The facility saves 300,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year as compared with traditional energy sources. L Li il ll lg gr ru un nd d Wi Win nd d F Fa ar rm m
