Centrica plc subsidiary Neas Energy has signed a 10-year deal for Centrica Energy Marketing & Trading to provide balancing and power trading for the 235 MW Överturingen wind farm located in central Sweden. The project was developed by Green Investment Group (GIG) and SCA Energy AB (SCA) and will comprise 56 Siemens Gamesa 4.2 MW turbines.
Neas Energy will provide all route-to-market services for the wind farm which will include physical balancing and trading of the power production on the Nordic electricity exchange as well as the offtake of El-certificates and Guarantees of Origin.
Part of the agreed route-to-market services will be to deliver electricity to the aluminium producer Norsk Hydro via a historical 29-year Corporate PPA agreement for a majority share of the electricity generated by Överturingen.
