Fortum is exploring the feasibility of constructing a large-scale 90 MW solar project in Havdhem, located in southern Gotland, Sweden. The facility would span an area of 95 ha.
This undertaking aligns with Fortum's strategic goal of expanding its solar power portfolio in the Nordic region. The company aims to establish its first industrial-scale solar project in Sweden. It also has an 80 MW solar power project in Virolahti, Finland, currently in the planning stages.
The process of obtaining permits for a solar park in Sweden typically takes between 1 to 3 years. Once the necessary approvals are secured, the construction phase is estimated to take approximately a year. However, it should be noted that the solar park may not be operational for a few more years due to the required grid expansion, which is essential for connecting the solar park to the regional grid.
