Ljuskällan
Project Development
Where energy becomes sustainable products and local benefits
Ljuskällan, Ljusdal
Ljuskällan is an initiative to establish a green industrial cluster in Ljusdal municipality. Here, local wind power production is directly connected to industry, processing, and energy storage to create new jobs and local value creation.
About the Project
Ljuskällan is being developed in connection with the planned Källmyrberget wind farm in the northern parts of Ljusdal Municipality. The goal is to bring energy production, industry, and storage together in one place to use resources more efficiently and create a resilient local value chain.
By using the electricity directly on site, the need for transmission and exposure to fluctuating power prices is reduced. Instead, the energy can be turned into products, jobs, and stable revenues.
The cluster is planned with shared infrastructure and shared resources such as electricity, water, heat, and residual streams. This lowers costs for businesses establishing themselves in the area and creates conditions for industrial synergies.
Hydrogen production is planned as a central part of the concept. Hydrogen can help smooth out fluctuations in power production and be used as an input in, among other things:
production of ammonia, methanol, and e-fuels
circular food solutions such as greenhouses and aquaculture
industrial processing with access to stable energy
Why Aneo?
The renewable energy group Aneo was established in the fall of 2022 through a collaboration between the energy company TrønderEnergi and the investment fund HitecVision. We have just over 180 employees, with our headquarters in Trondheim.
Aneo is built on 70 years of experience in the development and operation of large power projects. Aneo owns and operates 13 wind farms and two solar power plants in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, with production in all three countries. Additionally, the group holds a stake in Sunna Group AB, which develops, builds, and operates solar power plants in Sweden. Aneo also has several subsidiaries in areas such as energy services, mobility, and development.
We have extensive experience collaborating with municipalities, where we have built strong relationships with both residents, politicians, and the administration. Together with local authorities, we are creating the energy solutions of the future, with a focus on safety and presence in the local community.
One of the things that sets us apart from most of our competitors is that when Aneo seeks to build a wind power plant in a Norwegian municipality, it's with long-term intentions in mind, not to sell the project or power plant onward. We invest to build, build to own, and own to operate. This means that we are here now, during any construction process, and of course, every single day throughout the power plant's lifespan.
