Suvic AB Engages in New Wind Farm Construction Project
Suvic AB, part of Suvic Oy, has exciting news to share with the renewable energy community! Recently, it finalized a Balance of Plant (BoP) contract for the much-anticipated Vinliden North and South wind farms. These wind farms are based in the picturesque municipality of Lycksele in northern Sweden, where 11 wind turbines will be installed—4 in the Vinliden North site and 7 in Vinliden South.
Enhancing Renewable Energy Infrastructure
This project signifies a substantial commitment from Suvic AB, a fully-owned subsidiary of Suvic Oy, which is poised to lead the construction efforts. Business Director Sami Ehrnstén expressed enthusiasm about the contracts, highlighting their role as a continuation of ongoing projects like the Vitberget and Storhöjden wind farms. He mentioned, “The Vinliden sites will employ dozens of people, including our own staff and local workforce – there will also be work for local subcontractors.”
Strategic Partnership with Vinliden Vindkraft AB
Suvic AB’s contract involvement extends to the client, Vinliden Vindkraft AB, which functions as a joint venture among funds managed by Prime Capital AG. Suvic’s previous collaborative experiences with Prime Capital on projects such as Lappfjärd and Sandbacka wind farms have laid a solid foundation for this new endeavor. As stated by Thomas Zirngibl, Prime Capital’s Director of Infrastructure Engineering, “We are already familiar with Suvic from our projects in Finland. We are impressed by the quality of their work and their strong internal safety culture, which, alongside a competitive bid, is always a critical factor for us when selecting contractors for our projects.”
Comprehensive Project Scope
The contract encompasses a broad spectrum of responsibilities, including design work, road construction, crane pads, foundations, internal cabling, and the creation of a robust network infrastructure for the wind farms. Notably, Suvic has already initiated essential groundwork through deforestation and earthworks at both Vinliden sites, undertaken under an Early Works agreement. Activity at the sites will ramp up once the winter’s reindeer herding season concludes, slated for resumption in May. The wind farms are projected to be ready for handover by October 2025.
