Under the agreement, Danske Commodities will provide market access and balancing for Vitberget and Sörlidberget, two Swedish onshore wind farms being developed by Renewable Power Capital, a UK-based renewable energy company with a project portfolio of more than 10 GW across Europe.
Vitberget and Sörlidberget have a combined capacity of 300 MW, which can power around 650,000 households. The power will be generated by 46 turbines covering 1,400 hectares – roughly the size of 2,000 football pitches. Projects like Vitberget and Sörlidberget are important to the energy transition as land-based, utility-scale wind turbines provide one of the lowest-priced, clean energy sources available today.
“Vitberget and Sörlidberget are part of our flagship 553 MW onshore wind portfolio in Sweden, so we’re delighted to progress them to the next stage through this balancing agreement” said Lucía Fuentes de Ezquerra, Director of Power Markets at RPC. “We look forward to working with trusted partners like Danske Commodities to deliver clean energy across the region.”
Danske Commodities currently manages a power portfolio of more than 15 GW across Europe in close collaboration with its customers consisting of energy producers and industrial consumers.
“With the addition of the two wind farms, Danske Commodities now manages 1 GW of power in Sweden, which is becoming a key market for us, and we look forward to continuing supporting the Swedish energy transition” added Sofie Duedahl, Director of European Origination at Danske Commodities.
