Suomen Voima and Statkraft have entered a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) covering an estimated annual supply of 100 GWh.
The electricity will be sourced from Statkraft’s Nedre Bjurfors hydropower plant and Björkhöjden wind farm, located in Sweden’s SE2 bidding area. This marks Suomen Voima’s first energy deal in Sweden.
Nedre Bjurfors hydropower plant commenced operation in 1959 and holds a capacity of 78 MW as of today. The plant contains three turbines with a gross head of 20 meters and produces roughly 400 GWh annually. Suomen Voima’s share of the annual production is about 50 GWh, half of the PPA’s contracted volume.
Björkhöjden wind farm will deliver the other half of the PPA’s volume. The wind farm started operation in 2015 and consists of 90 Siemens wind turbines, each having a capacity of 3.2 MW, totaling an installed capacity of 288 MW and 700 GWh of annual production.
