We identified Sweden as an attractive location for diversifying our portfolio at an early stage. Generally linked to wind and hydropower, Sweden also offers attractive conditions for photovoltaics, especially the sunny south of the country.
In addition to Sweden, Klimavest has invested in solar and wind farms in Germany, Finland, France and Spain.
Swedish company Helios Nordic Energy is the developer and seller of the two projects. The local business partner stays involved and will initially take over construction management and, after commissioning the plants, technical and commercial operations management. The larger project, Wing Fields, has a planned nominal output of 49.4 MWp. It is located in the province of Södermanland, about 100 kilometers south of Stockholm. The second project, Gas Light, is located near Gothenburg and has a planned nominal output of 39.2 MWp.
The two projects continue the successful cooperation with Helios: The Kings Roar solar power plant in Sweden with a nominal output of around 22 MWp was successfully commissioned last year. Kings Roar was acquired by Commerz Real for another fund.
