RES has appointed Peab and SIC as contractors to deliver the balance of plant for the 372MW Bjornberget wind farm in Sweden.
Peab, a leading Nordic construction and civil engineering company, will be responsible for the foundations for 35 turbines, while SIC will complete 25 of them.
Construction is due to start this year.
The site will also have approximately 64km of new and upgraded roads and 130 km of cabling.
At peak construction 200 people will be working on site.
As well as managing construction, RES will also take care of the wind farm’s commercial and technical management once operational.
Bjornberget is jointly owned by Enlight Renewable Energy and Prime Capital’s Prime Green Energy Infrastructure Fund.
The wind farm due to come online in early 2023 and will feature 60 Siemens Gamesa 6.2MW turbines.
It will generate 1.1 terrawatt-hours of electricity a year.
RES chief executive in the Nordics Matilda Afzelius said: “This is an exciting point in the construction phase and we’re pleased to be working with such experienced and local companies as Peab and SIC on this project.
“A wind farm of this size will bring prosperity to the local region, whilst helping to decarbonise Sweden’s power generation.”
Peab regional manager Jorgen Eriksson said: “We are very happy to partner with RES in this large and important project, and contribute to society’s transition into renewables.”
SIC chief executive Jens Bak Ibsen said: “Both RES and SIC were early movers in the wind market in the Nordics and it’s great that our relationship has developed since our first construction project together back in 2005.
“We are looking forward to delivering the same high quality construction at Bjornberget”.
