Priority projects
Eolus’ success as a developer of renewable energy projects is in large dependent on access to a high- quality project portfolio that develops and is optimized over time. Over time the project portfolio consists of projects for wind, solar and storage in different phases developed by Eolus or acquired from others. Development and optimization of projects is done during a long period of time. Development and optimization of the most important projects in the total project portfolio is therefore key activities for Eolus.
To increase the long-term visibility of our activities we are now redefining the classification of our project portfolio and will clarify the communication for our most prioritized projects for establishment from 2022 onwards. The intention is to describe the progress of the projects in interim reports and on Eolus website and continually add information about future projects when they reach the late development phase.
All project development normally occurs at Eolus own risk and even if Eolus has well developed processes for project development, there is a risk that some projects might not be able to establish due to market och permit factors in the future.
