Germany-based renewable energy asset management firm Luxcara has acquired Önusberget wind farm in Sweden for an undisclosed sum.
With an expected total capacity of 750MW, the Önusberget wind farm will be one of the largest single onshore wind projects in Europe.
Part of the Markbygden 1101 cluster in Northern Sweden, Luxcara acquired the Önusberget wind farm from German-Swedish developer Svevind.
Svevind develops, sells and operates onshore wind power projects. The company will continue to support the realisation of the project until grid connection in 2021.
Luxcara managing partner Alexandra von Bernstorff said: “We are thrilled to invest in one of Europe’s most attractive locations for wind power and contribute to Sweden’s ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2045.
“The project combines great natural resources with our expertise to structure long-term power purchase agreements in the world’s largest power market.”
