Short summary
When ice buildup occurs on an energy infrastructure such as a power transmission line or a wind turbine, this can cause disturbances in energy production and transmission efficiency. In our study, we assessed how atmospheric icing conditions will change in the future climate in northern Europe. Towards the end of the century, the climate projections suggest a mostly decreasing trend in ice accumulation. However, the northern parts of Fennoscandia can locally experience increasing amounts of ice.
