Fred. Olsen Renewables has eight employees responsible for the day-to-day operation of Fäbodliden I and II and in part also Högaliden. Snow clearing and road maintenance are managed by a local company.

Each year the company in cooperation with the municipality of Vindeln allocate an amount of money for the benefit of the local community. Organisations may apply for funding and one-off events and proximity to the wind farm are favoured. To date, more than SEK 1 million has been distributed. Projects typically supported are renovation of community halls, sports and youth activities, wind protection and barbecue areas.

An extension to the wind farm of additional four wind turbines - Fäbodliden II - became operational in 2023.
