Bygger vindkraftstasjon for Holmen

Omexom, a leading contractor in energy infrastructure, has taken on a pivotal project to support Sweden's energy transition by constructing a complete substation for a new wind farm funded by Holmen, a Swedish forest company. The wind farm is situated approximately 4 kilometers west of Skellefteå.

Omexoms omfattende ansvar i prosjektet

The scope of Omexom's responsibility in this project is extensive, covering ground work, design, and the construction of a new station building. Additionally, Omexom will deliver, install, and commission new switchgears (170 kV and 36 kV) and install two transformers, which are supplied by the customer. The project also encompasses the implementation of a new control system, remote control capabilities, and relay protection.

143 MW vindkraft, 26 turbiner

The wind farm itself consists of 26 wind turbines, each with a power output of 5.5 MW, resulting in a total installed capacity of 143 MW. The comprehensive connection to the power grid will be finalized through the construction of a substation named ST91 Blåbergsliden by Omexom and the establishment of a new 170 kV power line by Skellefteå Kraft. The project is expected to be completed by spring 2021.

Betydning for infrastruktur og samfunn

Projects of this nature are especially significant due to their remote and challenging locations, but they play an essential role in enhancing the infrastructure and advancing the shift towards renewable energy sources, thereby benefiting society on a broader scale.
