Langevåg Wind Farm seen from Skippervika

Favourable wind conditions are a fundamental requirement for a good wind farm location, and the area earmarked for Langevåg Wind Farm meets this requirement. Measurements show a mean wind speed 80 m above ground level of around 7.9 m/sec.

The zoning area for Langevåg Wind Farm stretches from the sea in the west (approx. 35 m above sea level) to Gåsafjellet in the east (130 m above sea level). The undulating terrain comprises a range of hilltops on a southwest-northeast axis. The use of large wind turbines would result not only in less land being required, due to the need for fewer turbines, but would also allow them to be positioned further apart. 21 x 2 MW wind turbines could be erected, compared with 13 x 5 MW turbines. However, solutions between these two extremes could also be relevant.
