Neoen has started construction of the 57MW Storbrännkullen wind farm in Sweden, its first project in the country.
Stenger & Ibsen Construction (SIC) is responsible for civil engineering and electrification, said the French developer.
The farm will be connected to the 130 kV E.ON grid and is scheduled to be commissioned in late 2023.
Neoen intends to sell a significant part of the electricity generated via power purchase agreements (PPA).
Storbrännkullen is located in the counties of Jämtland and Västernorrland, spanning the municipalities of Ragunda, Strömsund and Sollefteå, around 100 kilometres from the city of Östersund.
It will feature ten Nordex N163 turbines with unit power of between 5.5 and 5.9 MW.
Neoen aims to be a leading player in the Swedish market.
Christophe Desplats-Redier, regional director Europe, said: “I congratulate our local team for their involvement in this first project, which is a milestone in our development in Sweden.
“I also wish to thank all stakeholders, in particular distribution system operator E.ON, for their support over the past few years. We set up our team in Stockholm less than two years ago, and the launch of the construction of this wind farm is a genuine achievement that demonstrates our commitment and capacity to rapidly develop in Sweden.”
