Aneo's first large-scale solar plant in Gislaved is nearing the start of production

Taking Shape

The solar plant under construction in southern Sweden is the first large-scale solar power plant in Aneo's portfolio. From the decision to build to completion, it will take less than a year. The park is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

– The construction of the Gislaved solar plant is a significant milestone for Aneo’s commitment to new renewable power production. We are very pleased that our first large-scale solar project is on track in cooperation with our partner Sunna Group, says Kari Skeidsvoll Moe, Executive Vice President of Growth Renewable Energy at Aneo.

The Gislaved solar park will produce 15 GWh per year, equivalent to the electricity consumption of approximately 3,000 households.

One of Sweden’s Largest Solar Plants

Upon completion, the Gislaved solar power plant will be one of Sweden's largest solar plants, larger than any ground-mounted solar plants in Norway to date. The plant is being built on an area of approximately 270 hectares and will have an installed capacity of 15.5 megawatts (MW) and an annual production of 15 gigawatt-hours (GWh).

The solar plant is being developed in collaboration with the Swedish development company Sunna Group, where Aneo took ownership in September 2022.

Building New Renewable Power Gently

The soon-to-be operational solar plant is being constructed on land damaged by fire. Executive Vice President Kari Skeidsvoll Moe praises the partnership with Sunna Group, stating that Gislaved is a good example of gentle development of renewable energy.

– At Aneo, we work purposefully for the gentlest possible development of new renewable power production. Here in Gislaved, natural revegetation will be monitored in the coming years, which will provide valuable knowledge for further solar power development, believes Skeidsvoll Moe.

Executive Vice President of Growth Renewable Energy at Aneo, Kari Skeidsvoll Moe, believes the development in Gislaved is a good example of how new renewable power production can be built gently.
