WPD Scandinavia managing director Maria Röske said: “We are pleased to be able to welcome Vestas to the site soon, and that we have reached another milestone in our commitment to Sweden.

“The great commitment with which our teams on site have recently advanced the anchoring of the plant foundations in the hard rock is symbolic of the basic commitment with which we were able to master all challenges in the planning and realisation of the Aldermyrberget project, which is important locally but also for the positioning of wpd in the Swedish market.”

The power generated by the firm will be sold to large unnamed Swedish industrial company under a power purchase agreement signed in May 2019.
