Enligth Renewable Energy announces that Björnberget has met the regulatory requirements to begin the process of commercial operation.
A successful project
Enlight Renewable Energy announces that its wind farm, located in northern Sweden, meets all regulatory requirements. The Swedish wind farm, with a capacity of 372MW, is the company’s largest operational project. In addition, it is also one of the largest wind farms in Europe.
The park consists of 60 wind turbines built by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Group. Each wind turbine has a capacity of 6.2 MW. Enlight Renewable Energy plans to commercialize the entire wind farm in the first quarter of 2023.
The Scandinavian market
Enlight Renewable Energy is already selling electricity on the Scandinavian market. The project company has a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA). As such, the agreement will be effective upon full commercial operation.
The contract stipulates that this company will purchase 70% of the electricity from the wind farm during the first five years. Over the last five years, the company will purchase the remaining 50%. In addition, NORDPOOL will purchase the remaining electricity produced.
