Näsudden

Näsudden is a peninsula on the south coast of Gotland, Sweden, adjacent the localities of Näs, Fide and Burgsvik.

[4] The collecting of data from the trial runs and evaluation of the project was financed by the Swedish government.

[5] In 2004, the then-largest land based wind turbine, the Olsvenne 2, was built on the peninsula.

Prior to that, a new cable for transmitting the electricity to mainland Sweden must be in place, since the existing one is insufficient for the energy produced by the new turbines.

[9] On the southwestern tip of Näsudden is the 94 ha (230 acres) Näs Reef Seal and Bird Reserve (Näsrevets säl- och fågelskyddsområde).

[10] The area has a rich bird life, it is the second most visited habitat for greylag geese in the Baltic Sea during their annual "wing moult".
