Halved costs in offshore wind power have prompted Vattenfall to revive its plan to install a large-scale wind farm in the Swedish part of Kriegers Flak, which is located 30 kilometers from the city Trelleborg, reports Swedish media Sydsvenskan.

An investment of SEK 5 billion (EUR 520 million) is being planned for around 50 of the large wind turbines boasting 8.4 MW each. But Vattenfall does not rule out that the current development of new wind turbines could lead to sizes of 12 MW.
