Wind power to be expanded to all of Sweden
- Electricity from wind power needs to quadruple compared to today, if the climate targets are to be met, according the Energy Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency.
- They say each region will have to increase production if the target of 100 percent renewable energy by 2040 is to be met.
- For a region like Stockholm, a real challenge is expected, as there is hardly any wind power there at all at the moment.
