About the Project

Aneo is investigating the possibility of establishing, operating, and later decommissioning the Rödmyran wind farm in Ånge municipality in Västernorrland County. The project area is located north of Byberget. Ånge town center is approximately 11 km east of the area, and the nearest locality is Alby, about 5 km to the southeast. The land within the assessment area is owned by Sveaskog. The planned operation includes up to 39 wind turbines with a maximum total height of 270 meters. The map shows the wind farm project area. The dashed line marks the assessment area, and the pink color indicates areas where wind turbines may be placed. Parts of the area are designated in the municipal comprehensive plan, “Översiktsplan Ånge 2040,” as a forest area with considerations and shall therefore be excluded from wind power. The wind farm is independent of any wind farm that may be developed by AB Hvalfisken.

Possible contributions to the local community

Approx. NOK 5.1 million annually to the municipality

Equivalent to property tax and generates around NOK 180 million in revenue for the municipal treasury over a 35-year period.

Approx. NOK 140 million to the local community at launch

Can be made available at launch to local businesses and local initiatives. The use of the funds is determined in cooperation with the local community.

Approx. NOK 5 million annually in local development funds

For the benefit of Ånge Municipality and the surrounding area. This amounts to approximately NOK 175 million over the wind farm's expected 35-year lifespan.

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.

Aneo operations building in Åfjord municipality

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.

The goal is an establishment that provides local roots and benefits for Ånge Municipality.

Opportunities for local businesses

Aneo already collaborates with local players such as GFRP and ROCCO Oil Sweden AB on potential partnerships. Additional collaborations with local businesses are also being pursued.

Sharing value creation

It is planned to allocate approximately NOK 5 million annually in community funds. Over an expected lifespan of 35 years, this corresponds to around NOK 175 million. The distribution of the funds will be developed in dialogue with local stakeholders and authorities.

Local participation

Local needs should guide how community funds are used. For example, the funds can be used to launch local solar panel projects, support small businesses and associations, upgrade shared facilities such as campgrounds or community centers, and support outdoor and leisure initiatives. Suggestions from the local community are welcome.
