According to Vision 2050 from Elforsk, the research department of the Swedish utilities and power companies, wind power demand in the year 2050 will be 6.6% of total electricity production which, at today's rate of consumption, will be some 150 TWh a year. Elforsk anticipates that energy saving measures will keep consumption in Sweden level. While Elforsk is supporting the development and evaluation of a new small turbine from Pitch Wind -- with a direct driven generator with permanent magnets -- it has no plans directly connected with wind energy., says the department's Ulf Arvidsson.
