Kingebol inaugurated in Sweden

Kingebol, European Energy, has just completed the construction of this onshore wind farm in the municipality of Åmål, Sweden.

Deadlines met

The Kingebol wind farm is operational and starts producing electricity. The expected annual production of the six turbines is 108 GWh. This corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of 20,000 households.

Jens-Peter Zink, Deputy Managing Director of European Energy, says:

“In a time of electricity shortages and high electricity prices, it is extremely satisfying to be able to contribute with a substantial addition of new green power. This brings prices down and accelerates the green transition.”

European Energy’s Kingebol project was on schedule, with no interruptions or delays. The turbines are SG6,2-170 HH 115, manufactured by Siemens Gamesa.

A mutualization of the network

On the other hand, the wind turbines stand at a height of 200 meters. European Energy also revealed plans to build a solar farm adjacent to the wind farm, which the company says will have a capacity of 37 MWp.

If the County Administrative Board gives its approval to the project, the solar park would be completed within 12 to 16 months. In addition, according to European Energy, combining solar and wind power in the same location can optimize electricity production. Indeed, it is possible to use the same grid connection from peak solar and wind power at different times and seasons.
