Consulting and engineering outfit Wood has been appointed by Luxcara as owner’s engineer on its 753MW Onusberget wind farm development.
The project, located in Sweden’s Norrboten County, is expected to be Europe’s largest operational wind farm upon completion.
Wood had previously provided planning, technical and management support through the project’s pre-construction phase.
The new contract means that Wood will provide engineering services, which include establishing a full-time site presence to monitor the progress and quality of works.
Andy Hemingway, president of energy, innovation and optimisation at Wood, said: “As the largest of its kind in Europe, the Onusberget wind farm will make a significant contribution to the European clean energy market.
“Wood has supported around 20% of global wind power generation capacity with our design, optimisation, construction, and operation expertise, and we are delighted to now be partnering with Luxcara on this flagship project.”
The development is expected to play a crucial role in delivering Sweden’s ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2045.
