Nordic Solar has taken a significant step in its renewable energy endeavors with the acquisition of a 40MW ready-to-build solar park project from Swedish renewable energy developer Helios Nordic Energy AB. This marks a milestone as the first large-scale scheme on the Swedish island of Gotland.
The project, part of the ambitious 270MW pipeline to be developed in collaboration with Helios Nordic Energy AB, underscores Nordic Solar's commitment to advancing solar energy infrastructure in Sweden. With this latest acquisition, 150MW of the pipeline is now either ready-to-build or already under construction, signaling substantial progress in the region's renewable energy landscape.
