The Issue of Trust in Swedish Wind Power Planning : A case study of the wind power project in Markbygden, Sweden
Sweden has decided that by the year of 2020, 30 TWh of energy should come from wind power turbines. The wind power developer Svevind AB is planning to build Europe’s largest wind power park in the area of Markbygden in the municipality of Piteå.
