EnBW Goes Shopping in Sweden

Alongside France, Sweden is the second foreign market within Europe that EnBW has selected for further growth in the area of onshore wind energy over the next few years. The total of 51 wind turbines make up a high-yield portfolio, some are also suitable for later repowering. 42 wind turbines come from Vestas V90-2.0, five from Siemens SWT-101 turbines and four from Nordex N90-2.5. Five wind farms are located in Svealand (central Sweden), one wind farm is in Norrland and in the Gotaland region (southern Sweden).

“We only founded our Swedish subsidiary a few months ago and the fact that we are now already concluding the first major acquisition confirms our decision to selectively internationalise our business and shows the role we believe Sweden plays for us as a growth market. It is an important step that will help us grow here and position us as a reliable partner for the further expansion of renewable energies”, explains Dirk Güsewell, Head of Portfolio Development at EnBW.
