Investment decision on Gettnabo - 12 MW
Arise Windpower AB has concluded an agreement with Svenska Vindbolaget
AB to acquire the permits for the erection of six wind turbines with a
total output of 12 MW in Gettnabo in the municipality of Torsås. Work is
scheduled to begin in May 2011 and the turbines are expected to be put
into operation and handed over in September of the same year.
The wind farm is Arise Windpower's eighth in southern Sweden and will
bring the company's total number of wind turbines in operation or under
construction to 64, with a total output of about 136 MW. The pace of
expansion is in line with the company's expansion plan.
The project comfortably meets the company's minimum requirement of a 10
per cent return on invested capital. The estimated specific investment
cost is about SEK 5.3/kWh per year.
