Eolus AB (publ) together with Dala Vind AB have today signed an agreement for the sale of the Fageråsen wind energy project to OX2, a leading European developer and operator of renewable energy production. The project – currently in late development stage and comprising up to 34 turbines in five areas – was developed in close collaboration between Eolus and Dala Vind, and is an important part of the energy transition in the Dalarna region in Sweden.

In connection with the signing, Eolus received a payment amounting to 6,6 MSEK. Reimbursement of Eolus’ project capex is conditional upon certain regulatory approvals. Additional payments of substantial size will be made to the sellers once the buyer makes a final investment decision for construction of the project.

A joint venture with local roots and national expertise
The Fageråsen Project is the result of a long-term collaboration where two parties with complementary strengths have contributed to its success:

Eolus AB, one of Sweden’s most experienced developers of renewable energy solutions with 35 years in the industry and operations in six markets, has brought extensive technical expertise, project management, and business acumen. Eolus has been responsible for strategic project development and the overall structure required to carry out a project of this scale.

Dala Vind AB, with deep roots in the region and a strong presence in the local community, has played a crucial role in land negotiations, community dialogue, and regional integration. Through its local network and ability to create acceptance and participation, Dala Vind has laid the foundation for a project that is both sustainable and well-anchored in the local area.

Together, the companies have shaped a project that aims not only to deliver significant amounts of renewable electricity, but also to create local value and contribute to a more robust energy system.

Strengthened grid and increased energy security in Dalarna
An important component of the project is that Fageråsen will help establish an additional transmission grid point in Dalarna. This is of strategic importance for the entire region, as it increases grid capacity, reduces vulnerability, and strengthens energy security—something that is crucial as the electrification of industry and transport continues.

OX2 takes over for implementation and long-term ownership
OX2 is acquiring the project with the ambition to complete construction and remain as the long-term owner and operator. With broad experience in developing, constructing, and managing renewable energy projects in both Europe and Australia, OX2 is a strong partner to drive the project into its next phase. The Fageråsen wind farm will become part of OX2’s growing portfolio of energy parks, where the company acts not only as developer and manager but also as a long-term owner. The goal is for the park to be fully operational by early 2028.

On 30 May 2025, Eolus Aktiebolag (publ) (“Eolus”) issued green senior secured bonds in the amount of SEK 550,000,000 (the “Bonds”).

Pursuant to the terms and conditions for the Bonds, Eolus has undertaken to apply for admission to trading of the Bonds on the sustainable bond list of Nasdaq Stockholm. For this purpose, Eolus has prepared a listing prospectus, which was approved by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen) on 30 June 2025. The prospectus is available at Eolus’ website www.eolus.com and at the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority’s website www.fi.se. The application for admission to trading has been submitted and the first day of trading of the Bonds will be today (2 July 2025).

Eolus has sold the greenfield-developed wind power project Pienava, totaling 147 MW, to Latvenergo, Latvia’s state-owned energy company. Construction is expected to begin immediately. Commercial operation is planned for the first half of 2027.

Eolus’s greenfield project Pienava in Tukums municipality has been in development over several years. The project includes 21 wind turbines with a tip height of 250 meters. Overall, Pienava is expected to deliver up to 475 GWh of renewable electricity per year to the Baltic power grid. The project, the country’s largest wind project to date, will provide power to a regional grid that is undergoing an ambitious transition from dependence on fossil energy to renewable energy and deeper integration with the European electricity market. 

“I am proud of our contribution to strengthening the Latvian energy system’s independence and resilience. I applaud the Eolus Baltics team’s hard work to realize Pienava, a fully Eolus-originated project and our first sale in this important growth market. Once again, we demonstrate our ability to develop large and value-creating projects in new markets. I look forward to deepening our partnership with Latvenergo and realizing more value from our Baltic project pipeline,” says Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus. 

“I am pleased that we have been able to increase the capacity of Latvenergo’s power generation assets by more than a third within a brief period of time, and all of these assets are renewable energy plants. The Pienava project is the crowning achievement of our RES potential, which will be managed to the highest industry standards and will allow Latvian customers to enjoy locally produced power. In addition to cheap and green energy, the wind farm will also contribute positively to the municipalities of Tukums and Dobele and to nearby residents, by making annual payments totalling more than EUR 350,000.” says Martins Cakste, Chairman of the Management Board of Latvenergo AS

“Each renewable energy project significantly strengthens Latvia’s energy independence and lays a solid foundation for future reductions in electricity prices. Unlike our neighboring countries, Lithuania and Estonia, which are already successfully utilizing the potential of renewable energy, Latvia has so far underutilized this opportunity. In today’s world, sustainable energy is not only a technological necessity but also a key factor in promoting a country’s economic well-being and development. I sincerely hope that the Pienava Project will serve as a vivid and inspiring example of how responsible and purposeful development can create a long-term positive impact for both local communities and the regional economy, fostering regional growth and prosperity.” says Kaspars Melnis, Minister for Climate and Energy. 

“We are proud of this significant milestone and our substantial contribution towards Latvia’s energy independence. We are grateful to state institutions, municipalities, landowners, and all cooperation partners for their support and trust. Drawing on Eolus’ international experience, we have worked diligently to comply with all technical and environmental requirements in Latvia and have planned the use of modern technologies. It is essential to us that the Pienava Wind Farm operates in a modern and efficient manner. The sustainable development of Latvia is our priority,” says Inga Abolina, Eolus Head of Baltics. 

The deal includes both an agreement for the sale of all shares in the project company (Share Purchase Agreement, SPA) and an agreement for the project management of construction (Project Management Agreement, PMA). The transaction relating to the SPA closed on 11 June, affecting Eolus’s results for the second quarter of 2025. As a result of the transaction, the project’s book value will be lifted from Eolus’s balance sheet and recorded as cost of goods sold in the income statement. Revenue from the sale will be recorded as turnover. Revenue and costs related to the PMA will be added to Eolus’ order backlog and recognized progressively in line with project’s degree of completion until start of commercial operations. 
 
The total expected construction investment for the Pienava project amounts to approximately EUR 215 million and it was in the late development phase with a degree of completion of 0 percent at the time of the transaction. The project has been financed by Eolus equity and group-level debt until sale. 

Following a resolution at the Annual General Meeting on May 15 and approval from the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) on June 3, Eolus Vind has now changed its name to Eolus. The change is part of a strategic initiative to strengthen the company’s brand and reflect the full scope of its international operations within renewable energy.

“Eolus was founded in 1990 as a wind power developer in Sweden. Today, we are an international company that develops, realizes, and manages projects in wind power, solar power, and energy storage across several markets in Europe and the United States. I am therefore very pleased that we can now finally update our company name, making our identity clearer to our stakeholders,” says Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus.
 
The company’s full new name is Eolus Aktiebolag (publ). The organization number (556389–3956) remains unchanged, and the company’s shares will continue to be traded under the ticker symbol EOLU B on Nasdaq Stockholm.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN OR TO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN OR TO ANY U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED) OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE IT IS UNLAWFUL TO PUBLISH OR DISTRIBUTE THIS PRESS RELEASE
