Swedish renewable energy developer Vencom Fulmar has entered into a partnership with Norway’s ASKO Fornybar to jointly deliver the 40-megawatt (MW) Svanabyn wind farm in Dorotea municipality, northern Sweden.
The project will consist of six wind turbines and is expected to produce approximately 150 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually, equivalent to the consumption of around 26,000 households, according to a joint statement from the companies.
Construction is scheduled to take place mainly in 2027, with operations anticipated to begin in 2028. Procurement of turbines and subcontractors is currently underway and will continue as part of the development phase.
ASKO Fornybar chief executive Ronny Johnsrod said the company is committed to engaging local stakeholders during the process. “We are entering this project with a long-term perspective and will focus on maintaining an open and constructive dialogue with the local community throughout the development process,” he said.
The facility is planned to connect to the grid via an existing power line corridor between Svanabyn and Hoting, reducing the need for new transmission infrastructure.
Vencom Fulmar CEO Jacob Lundqvist described the collaboration as an important step forward. “We are proud and pleased to have secured the realisation of the Svanabyn wind farm through our partnership with ASKO Fornybar,” he said.
Johan A Gustavsson, chairman of Vencom Fulmar, added that the project is a significant milestone for the company. “This marks a major milestone for Vencom Fulmar, as Svanabyn is our first fully permitted project. It represents a significant step in our development activities, which currently include eleven projects with a combined expected capacity of about 1.4GW,” he said.
The companies said the project will contribute to Sweden’s broader goals for renewable energy expansion and regional development.
