Luxcara signs turnkey contract for 753 MW Onshore wind farm in Sweden
Luxcara is expanding an existing collaboration with the Finnish contractor VEO for electrical works in Northern Sweden. The turnkey contract covers the design and delivery of two large substations for the Önusberget wind farm.
With transmission capacity in excess of 400 MW each, the two substations will connect the sub-parks Djupdal and Kallamossen to the local 170 kV grid. The prefabricated modular substation buildings are prepared and tested at VEO’s manufacturing hub in Finland in advance of transport to site. The approach optimizes quality assurance and reduces the amount of work on site.
The 753 MW wind farm is located in Norrbotten county, 30km west of Piteå, the facility is powered by 137 Cypress 5.5 MW turbines. It is part of the Markbygden 1101 cluster in Northern Sweden and one of the largest single-site onshore wind projects in Europe.
The project's construction started last year and is progressing as planned. With the civil infrastructure already in place and energization targeted for the third quarter of this year, VEO is on track to complete all works by the end of 2021.
