Enlight Energizes Project Björnberget, One of the Largest Wind Farms in Europe

The Swedish wind farm, with an installed capacity of 372 MW, constitutes Enlight's largest operational project to date

Enlight Renewable Energy (TASE: ENLT) is pleased to report that the Björnberget wind farm has achieved all necessary regulatory requirements to start the gradual process of commercial operation. Project Björnberget is one of the largest wind farms in Europe and constitutes Enlight's largest operational project to date.


The project comprises 60 advanced wind turbines from Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy with each turbine comprising 6.2 MW. The first turbine has commenced commercial operation and Enlight expects the entire wind farm to be commercialized during the first quarter of 2023. At this stage, Björnberget has already begun to sell electricity in the Scandinavian market.

The project company has entered a 10-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a global leading company, under which 70% of the wind farm's electricity will be purchased in years 1-5 and 50% of the wind farm's electricity will be purchased in years 6-10. The remainder of the electricity generated will be sold in NORDPOOL, the largest and most liquid power market across Europe. The PPA will come into effect at full commercial operation.
