European Energy has inaugurated its first hybrid park, which combines 49.6MW of wind with 39.3MWp of solar power.
Danish renewables developer European Energy has inaugurated its first hybrid park, which combines 49.6MW of wind with 39.3MWp of solar power.
The Skåramåla park is located in Kronoberg county in Sweden and has a single connection point to Swedish electricity grid.
The annual production of the park is estimated at around 126GWh, enough to meet the yearly electricity needs of more than 25,000 households.
Construction of the park took four years and is the first of three solar-wind hybrid parks European Energy is planning in Sweden. The company is already building the Grevekulla project in Ydre Municipality.

Peter Braun, country manager for European Energy in Sweden, commented: “The advantage of combining solar and wind is that they have different production times. The sun shines most during the day and summer, while the wind blows more at night and during winter. This gives us a more even production and smarter use of the power grid.”
Thorvald Spanggaard, executive vice president and head of Project Development at European Energy, added: "By combining solar and wind in the same location, we achieve a more even production and can make more efficient use of land and infrastructure.”
According to European Energy, a series of measures were deployed to enhance biodiversity in the area, which previously consisted mainly of forest with low ecological value.
The company has also worked to preserve water ponds, create natural habitats around the park’s edges, and sow plants that benefit pollinators.
The Swedish government is aiming for 100% renewable electricity production by 2040, with hydropower and bioenergy currently the top renewable sources for electricity production and heating respectively.
In 2022, 19% of Sweden's electricity came from wind power, with the country currently home to more than 4,700 wind turbines.
