Oslo - Norway: Njordr and OX2 have entered into a cooperation agreement with the aim of jointly developing the Galmsjömyran wind power project in the Sandviken municipality, Sweden, through a joint owned company with OX2 holding 51% of the shares and Njordr 49%.
The collaboration combines both parties' skills and previous experience. The project will focus on creating additional benefits for nearby residents, the Sandviken municipality and the local community. Furthermore, specific initiatives to support biological diversity will be investigated and implemented. The size of the project has also been reduced from 21 to 17 wind turbines and the protection zone for nesting birds has been expanded.
The wind farm is expected to be commissioned in 2028 and is estimated to annually produce at least 360 GWh of fossil-free electricity, which corresponds to nearly 40% of the electricity consumption in Sandviken municipality.
“Njordr has several wind power projects under development in the Nordic countries as part of our strategy to develop renewable electricity production for new green industry and jobs. We are very pleased with the collaboration with OX2 regarding the Galmsjömyran. Njordr has developed this project from the beginning and sees great advantages in a partnering with OX2 to realise the project. Galmsjömyran can provide a significant addition of fossil-free electricity production to the region and Sandviken municipality”, says Niclas Erkenstål, CEO at Njordr.
“Galmsjömyran is a great example of a wind farm that can be realised within the near future and provide a significant addition of fossil-free electricity to a growing region and create the conditions for new business establishments. Together with the Sandviken municipality, we are now looking forward to developing the project to ensure local value creation to the benefit of the municipality and the region,” says Hillevi Priscar, Country Manager, Sweden at OX2.
