Sweden intends to end subsidies for onshore wind farms by the end of 2021 . Vattenfall has also said it would shrink planned grid investments due to a state proposal to reduce network profits. Energy Minister Anders Ygeman said such projects were already profitable without subsidies and the move would bring Sweden in line with Denmark 's plan to end subsidies around the same time . He said Sweden would focus on reducing the cost of connecting offshore wind farms to electricity distribution grids , with support set to be provided by either the state budget or by Total , the state - owned grid operator .
