Göteborg Energi managing director Alf Engqvist said: “With our investment, we increase the production of renewable electricity and take another step towards a renewable energy system.

“We have always had great experience and relations with ABB and so it felt quite natural to include them in this journey.”

“Innovative solutions for solar power applications will be connected to the ABB Ability platform, which allows plant operators to monitor and control the facility.”

Spread across 11ha of land, the 5.5MW solar park will have the capacity to generate nearly 5,000kWh of electricity per year and will be enough to meet the yearly electricity needs of 1,100 households.

For this project, Swiss technology company ABB will be delivering a substation with switchgear, distribution transformers, and relays along with control equipment and inverters.
