Boost its wind portfolio in SE3 Sweden

Phase one of the project will have a capacity of 18 MW where Cloudberry is in final negotiations with the German turbine supplier Eno-Energy for three 6 MW turbines. Cloudberry has also secured an option, on the same terms, for additional 18 MW (Munkhyttan II). The permit process for the second project is already initiated. With this acquisition, Cloudberry further boosts its portfolio of late-stage development assets in SE3. With Munkhyttan, Cloudberry now has Stenkalles (100 MW), Duvhällen (60 MW) and Kafjärden (18-40 MW) in late-stage development in the area.

«This acquisition fits our strategy very well. The project is highly cost-efficient with an expected production of about 60 GWh per year. The expected IRR for the project is well above 10% p.a. for the full life cycle (30 years). Total capex, including development cost is below SEK 4 per kWh due to favorable layout, grid, and turbine efficiency», says Christian Helland, CVO at Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA.

At Munkhyttan, Cloudberry will work closely with local stakeholders and the preferred turbine supplier Eno-Energy to reach commercial operation date 2023/2024.

Eno-Energy basis its turbines on standardized components significantly reducing operational and technical risk over time.

«At Cloudberry, ESG is at the center of everything we do. Munkhyttan is a great example of our ESG story. The project has a low impact, with little to none conflicts locally. In the project, a lot of attention has been given to hydrology and to avoid unnecessary drainage to protect a specific type of butterflies», says Elisabet Wahlstedt, project leader at Cloudberry. «Cloudberry is also actively choosing local suppliers and will engage with a regional operator with a proven track record from previous Eno-Energy Projects», Wahlstedt adds.
