Upon completion, the solar farm would become one of the largest power plants in the country. It will be linked to the public grid to deliver renewable energy to the municipality of Nyköping.
Arlandastad and Vinci Concessions will also focus on developing a programme of photovoltaic (PV) power plants in Sweden, especially on land owned by Arlandastad Group.
Vinci Airports president and VINCI Concessions CEO Nicolas Notebaert said: “This double success marks both a structuring step for VINCI Concessions’ photovoltaic business and the continuation of our airport strategy, based on investing in assets with high growth potential.
“We are very pleased to be working with Arlandastad Group, a sound partner to the Nordic photovoltaic market, and a company that will continue the development initiated by VINCI Airports at Stockholm Skavsta, in partnership with the municipality of Nyköping.”
