Planned Investments

A rough estimate of the big investments in Norrbotten County up until 2020 exceeds SEK 200 billion. The amount is based on a mixture of already processed and established investment objects and investments that are characterized by greater uncertainty such as the Norrbotten railway and wind power investments.
Of course the list is not complete but it does contain several of the most important plans that are known today. Investments within industry, social infrastructure and energy make up the largest part (77%).
