Alecta acquires 20% in Stena Renewable and together with Stena Adactum, AMF and KLP they will continue the development of the company as a major green energy company

Stena Renewable is an energy company who during the past 15 years have established a strong position within wind power projects in southern Sweden. Today the company has one of the largest operational wind power portfolios in Sweden including a total of 315MW with another 600 MW under project which are complete or under construction. The company is expected to have 900 MW in operation by 2024 as well as having a continued fast annual growth. Since the start the company has invested 5 bn SEK and during the next three years another 5 bn SEK is expected to be invested in the completion of a number of windfarms in southern Sweden. The focus on southern Sweden means a substantial contribution with renewable energy in those areas where the energy challenges are the greatest during coming years as well as in the areas with the highest electricity prices.

Having Alecta as a partner will bring an additional financial and reputable owner who will ensure the company’s future growth and add to the energy transformation which is now happening at great speed. After the acquisition the company will be owned 30% by AMF and KLP respectively and 20% by Stena Adactum and Alecta respectively. AMF and KLP came in as owners during 2018.

This will ensure the company’s continued fast expansion during a phase which is even more capital consuming”, says Johan Wester, Senior Vice President Stena Adactum and Chairman of the Board Stena Renewable.
