SENS goes ahead with one of Sweden’s largest solar power and battery parks, signs a 23-hectare land lease agreement with Filipstad municipality.
SENS is further expanding the collaboration with Filipstad municipality, where a new energy cluster is starting to form as more investments have been initiated in recent times. Today, SENS has signed a land lease agreement with Filipstad Municipality concerning a new project that includes a combined solar cell and battery solution. The surface extends over 23 hectares (230,000 m2) where it is planned to establish approx. 20 MW of solar energy and 25 MW of battery storage. The project is located just south of Filipstad’s industrial area, where larger industrial players are also located. The project is part of the major investment in sustainable energy solutions that is currently being made in Filipstad.
The new projects, together with SENS’s underground pumped water storage project in the Värmlandsberg mine, will create an energy cluster in the region. The signed land rights agreement with Filipstad municipality ensures that the project now enters a more active development phase. The first steps are taken immediately and construction of the solar park is expected to begin within 6-12 months when the final project rights to establish and operate solar and battery projects are in place.
“Our collaboration with Filipstad is developing further and we are proud to receive a vote of confidence from the municipality to develop such a unique project. Our sustainable energy solution will provide the region with another environmentally friendly way of producing energy. By demonstrating and offering the next generation energy system, we are honored to be chosen as the development leader for this energy cluster coming to Filipstad.”
Hannes Fellsman, municipal director Filipstad municipality, comments:
“We think it is positive that Filipstad will now contribute to increased green energy production needed for local, regional and national needs. We look forward to SENS starting production, although of course there are several steps that must be taken before their facility is in production. Filipstad municipality’s part in this is that we lease out suitable land”.
