OX2 is to acquire the rights to build the 150MW Klevberget wind farm in the municipality of Ånge, Västernorrland County, Sweden, from Vattenfall.
Under the agreement, OX2 will acquire 100% of the project from Vattenfall.
The wind farm holds a legally binding permit.
It will be an addition to OX2’s Swedish project development portfolio for late-stage onshore wind power.
A group of local landowners developed the project until 2018, when the necessary permit was obtained.
After that Vattenfall took charge of the project, refining it further, for example with regards to grid concessions, detailed planning and complementary inventories.
OX2 country manager for Sweden Hillevi Priscar said: “OX2’s ambition is to begin construction of the Klevberget wind farm during 2022.
“We are looking forward to working alongside landowners, the Sámi community, residents and the municipality.
“We would like to thank Vattenfall for trusting us to continue to develop this project and for its successful development so far.
“When OX2 establishes wind farms, we always strive to achieve a positive impact on the nearby area, including greater biodiversity.”
Vattenfall’s head of development for onshore wind in Sweden Daniel Gustafsson said: “OX2 has the experience and competence needed for in a responsible way push this project further to a realisation and by that contribute to our goal of a fossil-free living within one generation.
“Vattenfall’s overall strategy remains the same, to develop, construct and operate wind power projects with around 2000MW in ongoing construction and around 10,000MW under development, onshore as well as offshore.”
