After the announcement of having signed a long-term PPA contract with a major Swedish industrial company for the Aldermyrberget wind farm in May this year, wpd has achieved financial close. KfW IPEX-Bank was a partner in the project financing.
The Aldermyrberget, a 72 megawatt wind farm, which is being built in the municipality of Skellefteå in northern Sweden, consists of 17 Vestas V150 wind turbines with a rated output of 4.2 megawatts each, a hub height of 155 metres and a total height of 230 metres. The frosty climate in northern Sweden makes the installation of wind turbines with anti-icing systems a requirement.
The turbine installation is to be completed in summer 2020 with the result that commissioning is scheduled for the third quarter of the year.
