These projects are expected to come online in 2025 and will be sold for an undisclosed sum.
Prime Capital official Dr Mathias Bimberg said: “Lycksele is already the third joint project with RES and a further acknowledgement of the good and trusted partnership between the parties.
“It’s an important part of our strategy to invest in both, the production of hydrogen/e-methane and the underlying green electricity production capacity, and is needed more than ever to assure sustainable energy security in Sweden and Europe.”
