In a significant move, Sweden has canceled 13 proposed offshore wind farm projects along the Baltic Sea coast due to their potential interference with national defense systems. Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari cited a military study indicating the projects could disrupt radar and underwater sensors critical for detecting threats. The decision, linked to rising tensions with Russia, reflects the government’s priority on defense amid a challenging security landscape. While 11 other offshore projects remain under consideration, the halt raises concerns within the wind energy sector about the loss of renewable energy opportunities.
