Impact
Bessakerfjellet has topography suitable for a wind farm. The area is close to roads and power networks, and shielded from the resident population. There are no protected areas that are affected by the development. All cables are buried in the roadsides so there are no overhead lines on the mountain plateau.
Location
New roads built for the wind farm have made the area more accessible and it has become a popular recreation area for both locals and tourists. To meet the requirements of the increased numbers of visitors, the municipality has built a small viewing centre, called Møllestua, between the turbines. Here you can enjoy the view of the wind turbines and the archipelago in all kinds of weather. You can make coffee, look at the photos of the construction of the wind farm and use the telescope to study all the small islands in the sea.
