The wind turbines are planned to be erected in three different areas, primarily located on Holmen’s land.

According to the companies, annual electricity production will be an estimated 330GWh from around 70 wind turbines, which are expected to begin operations by 2015.

E.ON Sweden CEO Jonas Abrahamsson said this partnership is fully in line with E.ON’s strategy of helping to drive the switch to renewables in Sweden, with success very much dependent on joining forces with major industrial partners.

"If the joint project goes well, we hope to see further cooperation in new areas," Abrahamsson said.
