The site is anticipated to produce sufficient electricity capacity to meet the energy needs of more than 18,000 households in the country.

Commissioning of the project is planned for 2025.

Neoen Sweden business development head Laetitia Prot said: “I would like to congratulate our development partner Alight, and our contractors Bouygues Energies & Services and Solkompaniet for this great achievement.

“The Hultsfred solar farm will be our third Swedish asset after Storbränkullen wind farm and Storen Power Reserve battery: our three-pronged, long-term approach is an ideal response to Sweden’s need for a secure supply of competitive, local, renewable energy, as it transitions to a net-zero carbon economy by 2045.”

The project is supported by a long-term power purchase agreement signed at the end of last year with H&M Group.

This agreement ensures that the solar farm will supply 95% of its renewable energy and guarantees of origin to the Swedish fashion chain.
