Constructing Sweden's Largest Solar Farm
- Neoen and Alight are excited to be working on the 100MWp Hultsfred solar farm in Sweden, which will provide 18,000 homes with renewable energy come 2025. H&M Group has even secured a long-term PPA to receive 95% of energy produced. Get ready for a greener future!
Neoen and Alight have begun work on the 100MWp Hultsfred solar farm in Sweden. The farm will be built using photovoltaic panels installed around the runway of Hultsfred airport and is expected to generate enough electricity to cover the consumption of over 18,000 Swedish homes. It will be connected to the E.ON local grid distribution system and will be completed and commissioned in 2025. The project is also underpinned by a long-term PPA with H&M Group, under which the solar farm will provide the Swedish fashion chain with 95% of the renewable energy produced. This agreement will help H&M Group reach its goal to source only renewable electricity by 2030. Neoen and Alight have congratulated their development partner and contractors for this achievement and are looking forward to the successful completion of the project.
