News release from Vestas Northern and Central Europe
Hamburg, 19 December 2024
Vestas has received a 224 MW order from Vinliden Vindkraft AB for the 70 MW Vinliden and 154 MW Fjällberg projects in Sweden. The projects are a joint venture of funds managed by Prime Capital AG and Polhem Infra, a leading renewables and infrastructure investor in the Nordics.
Sweden is a leader in onshore wind energy with one of Europe’s highest penetrations of renewable energy in the grid. The two projects are located in the county of Västerbotten in Northern Sweden in a region where the renewable energy industry has been active for decades and where several new companies find the area suitable for new energy projects.
The order includes supply, delivery, and commissioning of 35 V162-6.4 MW wind turbines with 24 units for Fjällberg and 11 units for Vinliden, all equipped with Vestas Anti-icing Solution. Upon completion, Vestas will service the turbines under a long-term Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets with the support of local service technicians for decades to come.
“We are thrilled and grateful for the trust that Prime Capital and Polhem Infra are putting in Vestas and our EnVentus platform. We are looking forward to working closely together throughout the next years.” says Anna Schlasberg Wachtmeister, VP Sales North West at Vestas. “While there have been some setbacks in Sweden’s green transition, investments like this one underline the continued demand for clean and cost-efficient energy and are clearly leading the way by persistently pushing forward despite challenging times.”
“We are delighted to partner with Polhem Infra on these two projects. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey towards sustainable energy solutions, “states Dr. Mathias Bimberg, Head of Infrastructure at Prime Capital. “We are grateful for the collaboration with Vestas. Together we make a difference in the renewable energy sector in Sweden.”
“As our clear focus is on investing in a sustainable infrastructure for future generations, we are proud to partner with Prime Capital on these projects. Having the right technology to lead the energy transition is of course key to succeed and we believe this can be achieved together with Vestas.” says Anna Elmfeldt, CEO at Polhem Infra.
Turbine delivery is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026 with commissioning scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026.
