BayWa renewables arm has commissioned its 95MW Lyngsasa wind farm in southern Sweden, the developer’s largest wind farm in Europe.
Lyngasa consists of 22 Vestas V150 turbines.
Hakan Wallin, CEO at BayWa r.e. for the Nordics, said: “We are proud to have delivered our largest wind farm in Europe to date, which will make a significant contribution to the Swedish energy transition.
“We’ve developed the Lyngsasa wind farm from greenfield during several years of intensive project development, including a re-permitting procedure and, with the new permit in hand, we managed the complete engineering, procurement and construction process.
“Thanks to a great team effort, despite challenging circumstances due to the Covid-19 regulations, Lyngsasa is now delivering green electricity to the citizens in the southern part of Sweden.”
BayWa r.e. sold the Lyngsasa wind project in 2019 to the sustainable infrastructure investor SUSI Partners, which has secured a long-term PPA for the project.
The commissioning of Lyngsasa wind farm follows the sale of the 62MW Furuby wind farm, in southern Sweden, which is now under construction.
