France’s Neoen plans to invest big in Sweden to reach green energy goal
Neoen, a French renewable energy company, plans to invest one billion euros in Sweden in order to reach its green energy goals. Neoen is set to begin building its first Swedish solar park in Hultsfred this summer, which will produce enough electricity to power 16,000 homes and has already signed up H&M as a customer. The company is also waiting for permission for other projects in Sweden, including a solar park in Vapnö in Halland, and has signed a ten-year power purchase agreement for a wind farm in Storbrännkullen. According to Neoen’s co-founder, Xavier Barbaro, there is significant demand for renewable electricity in Sweden in the coming decades, but the country’s long permit processes can be frustrating.
