Helios Nordic Energy AB has entered into an agreement with Nordic Solar for the sale of two solar photovoltaic projects located in Sweden. 

The first project is close to Hultsfred airport in southern Sweden and will have the potential to accommodate up to 92 MWp capacity, making it one of the largest official PV solar projects in Sweden entering the construction phase.

The other project is in the estate of Medinge, north of Örebro, and will have the potential to accommodate an installed capacity of up to 21 MWp. The project has been developed rapidly and has taken less than a year to obtain all necessary permits and grid connection agreements with the local grid operator Linde Energi.

The projects will now enter a more detailed planning stage and a tendering process will commence for the construction works. The final design and capacity will be established in the coming months. Once operational, the projects will then produce around 113 GWh of electricity per year to the great benefit of the climate and Swedish electricity consumers. The solar parks are built and financed completely on market terms with no state subsidiaries.
