Renewable infrastructure company Greencoat Renewables has made its second acquisition in Sweden.
Greencoat has agreed a deal to buy the 134.4MW Ersträsk North wind farm in Norrbotten County, Sweden from Enercon on a forward sale basis.
The wind farm is currently under construction and is expected to be fully commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Once operational, Enercon will provide long term operations and maintenance services at the wind farm.
Today's deal is the company's second acquisition in this location, having acquired Ersträsk South wind farm in October 2021.
It will bring Greencoat Renewable’s overall capacity on this site to 235MW.
Paul O'Donnell, Partner at Greencoat Capital, the Investment Manager, said that Sweden is becoming a major hub for green energy, with the combination of low-cost generation and a number of attractive routes to market.
"As the renewable generation market continues to develop, we expect to see greater opportunity in the unsubsidised renewables market and believe Greencoat Renewables is well positioned to benefit both across mainland Europe and in Ireland," Mr O'Donnell added.
