Neoen and Alight inaugurate Sweden’s 100 MWp solar park in Hultsfred

Neoen and Alight have commissioned and started the operations of the 100 MWp Hultsfred Solar Farm in the province of Småland in southern Sweden.

Developed and co-owned by Neoen, which holds the majority stake, and Alight, the Hultsfred Solar Farm is integrated into the E.ON local grid distribution network in Hultsfred, located in Småland, southern Sweden. The project was financed by Neoen and Alight, bolstered by a structured debt financing arrangement from Danske Bank. It is underpinned by a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) established in 2022 with H&M Group, through which the solar farm supplies 95% of its generated renewable energy and guarantees of origin to the Swedish fashion retailer.

The Hultsfred Solar Farm was completed on schedule by contractors Equans Solar & Storage and Solkompaniet, with electricity generation beginning in April 2025 and the facility is now fully operational. It is projected to produce 100 GWh of renewable energy annually, sufficient to meet the yearly electricity needs of approximately 18,000 Swedish households. The solar farm utilizes low-carbon photovoltaic panels, strategically installed around the runway of Hultsfred airport.
