caption_attribution_description: English: Wind power in the Scanian country side, Sweden. Svenska: Vindkraftverk spridda över det skånska slättlandskapet.
context_page_description: Sweden consumes about 150 terawatt hours of electricity per year, of which about 17.5 TW·h was generated from domestic wind power resources in 2017, up from 2.4% in 2010 and 0.3% in 2000.
  In its official forecast as of February 2019, the Swedish Wind Energy Association projects that cumulative wind power capacity in the country will rise to 12.8 GW by the end of 2022 - 91% higher than 2017's 6.7 GW. Such an expansion could increase the share of Sweden's electricity use met by wind power to over 20%.
