Aneo launches new solar power plant in Sweden – Holma Solar Park begins operations

The fact that Holma Solar Park is now operational is proof of what is possible when we combine clear goals with good cooperation. We are proud of the collaboration with the landowners, Aneo, Solarwork, and all local actors who made it possible to realize this solar park in a short time, and we at Sunna are now looking forward to managing the facility on behalf of Aneo, says Marcus Qviberg, CEO of Sunna Group.

Breathing New Life into Unused Land

Holma Solar Park is established on low-productive agricultural land that has been underutilized for a long time due to low yields and wet conditions that made the area difficult for machinery access. By establishing the solar park, the land is used in a sustainable and resource-efficient manner. Additionally, the facility is designed to allow for future, parallel land use where appropriate, such as grazing between the panel rows. In this way, we can combine renewable energy production with environmental considerations and local value creation, in line with our goals and ambitions.

Holma is a great example of how we intend to work with solar power moving forward: effectively, in collaboration with reliable partners, and with respect for the local environment, says Beate Nesje, project manager for the development at Aneo. 

 We see that the demand for renewable energy is increasing rapidly, and solar power is an important supplement to both wind and hydropower. With Holma, we demonstrate that it is possible to develop, build, and commission large solar power plants in a short period, continues Nesje.

About Aneo

Aneo is a Nordic renewable group that, in cooperation with local communities and partners, develops, builds, operates, and owns battery, solar, and wind power in Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The company aims to be an active contributor to the Nordic energy transition by supporting electrification and developing new renewable power production. Aneo is built on 75 years of experience in renewable power development in Norway and has its headquarters in Trondheim.

About Sunna

Sunna was founded in 2021 with the ambition to increase the amount of solar power in the energy system by developing, owning, and managing large-scale solar power and battery storage in the Nordics. Together with long-term capital partners, Sunna is a sustainable player in the Swedish energy market.

We give low-productive land new value and increase access to green, locally produced solar power, enabling faster regional establishment and expansion of businesses, as well as supporting the electrification of society in general. Our goal is to build 1 gigawatt by 2030, and so far, we have secured permits for a quarter of this capacity.
