Måkaknuten wind farm is located in both Bjerkreim and Gjesdal Municipality.

Following financial closure of Makaknuten Wind Farm project in the beginning of March 2019, civil works started shortly after by constructing site roads in both eastern and western side of the project. At the same time, engineering works were commenced to provide in time, all necessary technical designs, studies and detail planning of works.

The site activity is planned and coordinated with respect to the landowners in the area and their farming activity.

Makaknuten Wind Farm has also constructed an overhead line connected to Bjerkreim regional substation.
