Operations Other

As part of the operational arrangements for Vindpark Vänern’s export connection, ReWind Vänern established a regime of limited access and anchoring restrictions to protect the buried power cables while minimising impacts on fisheries. Only defined buffers around each turbine foundation and along the cable routes—based on work areas consisting of circles with a 150 m radius around foundations and 200 m wide corridors following the cable routes—are subject to restrictions; anchoring is prohibited within these buffer zones during the operational phase, while fishing and other uses can continue in the rest of the 11.5 km² project area, helping to avoid interference with the important vendace fishery.
