Priority projects
As establishments become fewer but larger, there is a growing need for a clear focus on those projects that best match the market’s demands for new generation facilities. Eolus’s strategic focus will therefore concentrate on the development, establishment and divestment of a number of high-priority projects in coming years, i.e. those with the best conditions to be realized at the lowest cost per megawatt-hour. To highlight information about the status of these high-priority projects, they will be given a separate heading in Eolus’s interim reports. The same information will be presented on Eolus’s website. The website will be updated quarterly following the publication of quarterly reports, or due to other significant project events announced via press release.
The following are currently our high-priority projects for the coming years. However, the summary does not rule out the establishment of other projects from Eolus’s high-quality project portfolio
that meet investors’ demands and requirements. The estimated transaction volume of these specific high-priority projects is about SEK 9 billion.
