The 474MW Nysäter wind project in Sweden has started producing electricity.
The first of the 21 turbines already installed has been connected to the power grid and has started generating power, according to RWE Renewables, which owns a 20% stake in the project.
A fund advised by Energy Infrastructure Partners AG (EIP) own the remainder of the project, which is located in Viksjö, close to Härnösand.
The completion of the wind farm is planned for end of 2021, when it will consist of 114 Nordex turbines.
They are expected to generate enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of the annual consumption of up to 300,000 Swedish households.
RWE Renewables will operate and maintain the wind farm when completed.
Its chief operating officer for onshore wind & solar PV in Europe & APAC Katja Wünschel said: “The Nysäter wind farm will play an important role in achieving Sweden’s ambitious climate targets.
“Our involvement in this large-scale project underlines our aim to further strengthen our position among the world’s leading renewables companies.”
RWE owns and operates one offshore and ten onshore wind farms in Sweden, with a capacity of more than 150MW, and has several projects in development.
