The project is expected to be completed by 2025 and could have a total capacity of up to 4,000 megawatts (MW), comprising up to 1,101 wind turbines.

The project was initially co-developed by Svevind AB and wind turbine manufacturer Enercon.

The first wind farm in Markbygden's phase 1 project was commissioned in 2014 and consists of 36 turbines,[6] Enercon E-92, with a hub height of 138 m (453 ft).

[7] With that Enercon was taking over Svevind's shares of the operational Skogberget and Ersträsk wind farms.

All power generated by the entire Markbygden phase 1 wind farms is transferred via the Råbäcken[8] transformer station to the Swedish 400kV national grid.

It is located between the villages of Koler and Långträsk in the western part of the project and Blåsmark to the east, entirely within Piteå municipality.

The Önusberget 750 MW share of phase three was acquired by German asset manager Luxcara in April 2019,[13] powered by 137 GE Cypress 5.5MW turbines for 25 years.
