An arbitration award in a case regarding the Kråktorpet and Nylandsbergen wind projects outside Sundsvall has been announced today. The award is estimated to have a positive effect on Eolus’s operating profit by SEK 96 million in the third quarter. The estimated effect on profit before tax is SEK 85 million in the third quarter. Cash flow will be negatively affected by approximately SEK 28 million in the fourth quarter.

In January 2018, the contractor received the contract to design and execute roads and crane sites as well as electrical grids for the Kråktorpet and Nylandsbergen wind farms. The parties could not agree on responsibility for damages and delays due to insufficient roads, etc. during the thawing period in connection with the construction of the wind farms and a dispute was initiated in 2020. The arbitration award was announced today, 16 October, 2023.

Eolus has filed a permit application for the Västvind wind power project, located west of Gothenburg. The project consists of up to 50 turbines with an installed capacity of 1,000 MW and estimated annual electricity generation of approximately 4 TWh.

The offshore wind power project is situated off the western coast of Sweden, outside Öckerö and Kungälv. The project can potentially be completed by 2029 and provide a significant addition of green electricity as required by the major companies in the region as well as other operations. One example of such operations is the Port of Gothenburg, which stands on the threshold of a green transition and thus a sharp increase in its electricity requirements between now and 2030. As part of its commitment to secure the supply of green electricity, Göteborgs Hamn AB has become a joint owner with a 5% stake in the project.

“The annual electricity generation from Västvind is equivalent to all current electricity consumption in Gothenburg. Electricity supply is a critical issue for the region’s continued development and during the spring, the County Governor stated that several offshore wind power projects need to be built in Västra Götaland over the coming years – as well as more onshore wind power projects – to meet the need for 15 TWh of new electricity generation by 2030. Major electricity generation projects in the region that can be completed before 2030 are in short supply. Västvind can be completed by 2029 and is thus necessary if the region is to have a chance of achieving its goal,” says Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus.

“Without the addition of new electricity generation, the region’s development and thus jobs in the automotive and chemicals industries are under threat. The wind power project itself will create a large number of jobs in the locality, both during the construction phase and when the farm is in operation. Based on a study of incentives and compensation in connection with wind power establishments presented in the spring, the municipalities of Öckerö and Kungälv can also expect to receive several million Swedish kronor per year earmarked for local activities if the proposal is implemented.”

The permit application is to be processed by both the Land and Environment Court in Västra Götaland and the government, as the project is situated in territorial waters, which is the responsibility of the Land and Environment Court, and in Sweden’s economic zone, for which the government is responsible for granting permits. The permit application, including the environmental impact assessment, will be circulated for consultation among relevant stakeholders prior to a decision being taken on the permit.

“I am very pleased that we have now filed the permit application and are thus moving the project forward. Sweden has robust environmental laws and we hope that the feedback from the consultation process will be constructive and will help make the project even better. Our aim is to engage in ongoing dialogue with commercial fisheries, the Swedish Armed Forces, the municipalities and other stakeholders to identify constructive solutions for coexistence that will also allow us to support the development of the stakeholders’ operations. Commercial fisheries have a long tradition on the west coast of Sweden and are an important supplier of food. We have initiated dialogue with them for the purpose of discussing remuneration and compensatory measures for the impact caused by the farm,” says Anna Lundsgård, Head of Offshore at Eolus.

About the electricity situation in Västra Götaland
Västra Götaland is the region in Sweden with by far the highest number of people working in the industrial sector. Electricity generation in Västra Götaland currently accounts for less than one third of the region’s electricity consumption. The Council for the Green Transition in Västra Götaland (Sw: Rådet för grön industriomställning i Västra Götaland), which is led by the County Governor and the chair of the regional council, has stated that a further 15 TWh of new fossil-free electricity generation is required by 2030 to meet the requirements of the current industrial transition and approved new establishments, such as the two battery factories. The Council has identified offshore wind power as the principal source of new electricity generation in Västra Götaland in the period through 2030.

Eolus has made an investment decision for the 100 MW stand-alone battery storage project Pome in the United States. Construction of the project will commence in Q3 2023 with planned commercial operation in Q4 2024.

The Pome battery storage project is located in San Diego County, California and has a planned capacity of 100 MW/400 MWh. An agreement regarding supply of a battery energy storage system has been signed with a major BESS supplier, and a ten-year tolling agreement has been signed with an undisclosed buyer. The project is under development by Eolus North America since 2019.

“There is a strong demand for energy storage in California to support the energy system and we are excited to realize this project. We see great interest for investing in renewable energy and energy storage”, says Hans-Christian Schulze, Country Manager of Eolus North America.

“Eolus has been active in the US since 2015 and we have a strong project pipeline, where the US projects make up one-quarter of Eolus’s total project portfolio. After the Inflation Reduction Act being signed the US market is really booming. We are delighted to continue our investments by constructing the Pome project”, says Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus.

Eolus North America is currently developing 6,000 MW of projects in the Western United States and has developed and sold approximately 900 MW of wind, solar plus storage and stand-alone storage projects in California and Arizona. Eolus North America is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eolus Vind AB.

An important milestone has recently been achieved in the solar and battery storage project located in Arizona, US, which was sold by Eolus in October 2022. As a result of obtaining site control and signing a grid interconnection agreement, Eolus has recently received a substantial milestone payment. Eolus has now collected approximately 40 percent of the total expected consideration.

The solar and battery storage project is located in Arizona, US, and is expected to have an initial aggregate capacity of 750 MWac solar photovoltaic generation and battery storage capacity.
 
“I am delighted to see that the project continues to develop well and that it now has reached a very important milestone in the project development. Once completed, it has the potential to generate more than 1 000 GWh of well-needed dispatchable clean energy per year”, says Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus.
 
Further purchase price instalment payments will be made based on the project’s progress and the fulfilment of certain remaining milestones. These milestones involve advancing the development of the project, preparing it for financing and construction, and ultimately achieving commercial operation. The total purchase price is estimated to be between USD 104 and 190 million, which will be paid in stages until the estimated completion date planned for 2026. The buyer’s ongoing development and dimensioning of the project will determine the precise amounts of subsequent payments to Eolus within the above-mentioned range. 
 

Eolus has sold the wind power projects Skallberget/Utterberget, Tjärnäs and Rosenskog, totalling 125 MW, to BKW. The projects are under construction and commercial operation is planned for the fourth quarter 2023.

The transaction covers all the shares in the project companies at an enterprise value of EUR 189.3 million and a share purchase price of EUR 18.9 million. Eolus will manage the construction of the wind farms under a Construction Management Agreement (CMA) on behalf of BKW. Revenues under the CMA is estimated to approximately EUR 29.5 million and will be accounted for over the course of the remaining construction period in accordance with the percentage of completion method. At the end of Q2, the degree of completion is estimated to be around 75 percent for the Rosenskog project and around 55 percent for the Skallberget/Utterberget and Tjärnäs projects.

Eolus has also been entrusted to provide technical, operational, and administrative services for the wind farms on a long-term contract.

Signing and closing of the transaction has taken place today, 26 June.

The three projects are located in price area SE3 in Southern Sweden, where there is a strong need for new electricity production to secure access to renewable energy at reasonable prices for private individuals and businesses. A major global energy company will purchase all the electricity from the wind farms under a Power Purchase Agreement.

“There is a strong interest in investing in renewable energy, and we are excited to welcoming BKW as a partner when they do their first investment in Sweden. With over 100 years in the energy sector, BKW is a significant player in the European energy sector, and we look forward to our cooperation”, says Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus.

“This transaction once again demonstrates Eolus’ ability to provide attractive projects and investment opportunities to the market. We continue to see strong market activity and are delighted to team up with BKW for these projects”, says Christer Baden Hansen, Chief Commercial Officer of Eolus.

“We are delighted with the acquisition of newly built wind parks with state-of-the-art technology from an experienced developer like Eolus. With this investment we remain on track with our contribution to a decarbonized future based on sustainable energy infrastructure and we strengthen our presence in the attractive Scandinavian market with further assets and services,” says Margarita Aleksieva, Head of Wind and Solar at BKW.
