For this project, Ardian has contracted OX2 to lead the construction and technical management of the wind facility.
Ardian Infrastructure managing director Amir Sharifi said: “In OX2, we have found an excellent partner. We look forward to together building a state-of-the-art wind farm using the latest available technology.
“Our goal is to achieve solid returns without subsidy and a positive impact on all stakeholders.”
Once operational in 2021, the windfarm will be one of the largest in Sweden with 53 turbines and is expected to produce in excess of 800GWh of clean energy per annum.

OX2 Wind managing director Paul Stormoen said: “We are very pleased to have established a good business relationship with Ardian after a realisation process that was characterised by a high degree of professionalism and spirit of cooperation.
