The words refer to the installation of a solar power plant of 12 megawatts (MW) and are expected to generate annual revenue of approximately SEK 10.88 million, or approximately SEK 217.6 million during the 20-year term of the agreement.

The plant will produce approximately 11,640,000 kWh annually. The customer undertakes to purchase all electricity that the plant produces for 20 years. The investment in the facility, which will continue to be owned by ASRE, amounts to approximately SEK 76.8 million and construction start is planned for quarter 1, 2020.

CEO Stefan Ölander comments:
– This is our second largest order so far in ASRE and the facility will cover a roof area corresponding to approximately 17 soccer fields. There is great interest in ASRE’s offer in China and we now have 104.3 MW connected to the grid that generates revenue, 22.5 MW under construction and an order backlog of 31.5 MW. The potential for further orders is good, as we also have framework agreements of 650 MW in three different provinces and a project pipeline of 123 MW that we continuously process. Our goal to reach 605 MW 2021 in installed capacity, which is fully connected to the network 2022, remains firm.
