NIB lends to wind farm project in northern Sweden
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) and Swedish Gabrielsberget Syd Vind AB have
signed a loan totalling EUR 35 million for financing the construction of a new
wind farm in Västerbotten in northern Sweden.
The 16.5-year-maturity loan will be used for financing the wind farm project
which has a total capacity of 46 MW.
The wind farm will be made up of 20 wind turbines and the commercial operation
of the farm is planned to be running by July 2011.
"Replacing fossil fuel based energy production with renewable energy sources
such as wind helps reduce CO2 emissions. It is NIB's mission to enhance the
environment by lending to projects such as this wind farm," says Johnny
Åkerholm, NIB President and CEO.
Gabrielsberget Syd Vind AB is owned 50% by German Enercon Independent Power
Producer GmbH and 50% by Swedish Svevind Holding AB, Sweden. Enercon is the
fourth largest wind energy manufacturer in the world with more than 17,000 wind
turbines installed in over 30 countries. Svevind is a privately-owned company
which plans, develops, sells and operates land-based wind power projects of
varying sizes.
