Cloudberry Clean Energy

🌿 Let us wrap up the week with some key take aways from this years edition of #VIND2024 We are at a pivotal moment for renewables: So much potential for the Nordics, but an imminent risk of missed opportunities. While we are encouraged by the Swedish opposition leaders' commitment to maintain and improve incentives for municipalities and to support state-funded offshore cable costs, industry leaders are clear: there is much uncertainty about long-term cross-party support for a technology-neutral framework that is urgently needed to tackle the looming energy shortage and climate change. This is essential to encourage innovation, ensure flexibility, achieve cost-effectiveness and promote fair competition. By focusing on outcomes rather than specific technologies, these policies can drive the energy transition more effectively and sustainably. 🎉 But policy aside, we had a great time meeting with friends, partners and colleagues to discuss ways to accelerate the energy transition. At Cloudberry, we are committed to being the junction box that connects ideas to action and ensures that renewable energy projects can thrive – today and for future generations. Many thanks to Svensk Vindenergi for a stellar event!

Debunking Myths: Wind Turbines and birds Myth: Some claim that wind turbines are a big threat to bird populations    Fact: While a small number of birds do collide with wind turbines, just like other types of infrastructure, the impact is far smaller than commonly believed. Studies show that wind farms account for only 0.1% of bird deaths, compared to much higher numbers caused by buildings, road traffic, power lines and cats, to name a few. According to the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) and Miljødirektoratet, strategic site selection and technological solutions can further reduce the number of bird collisions. Important to remember: the biggest threat to wildlife is habitat loss and climate change itself.   At Cloudberry, we work closely with environmental experts to ensure that our wind projects are planned in ways that minimize risks to bird populations. Monitoring programs and mitigation measures are implemented to protect vulnerable species, helping to maintain a balance between renewable energy development and biodiversity.  We believe in sustainable coexistence, where clean energy projects and wildlife can thrive together.     Anders Lenborg Ingrid Bjørdal Charlotte Bergqvist Erik William Welle-Strand Stig J.

Big News: Munkhyttan Wind Farm starts production 🎉 Cloudberry’s Munkhyttan wind farm has officially started producing electricity, marking an exciting phase of test operation. Located near in Lindesbergs kommun, the farm’s three Vestas turbines, currently the largest in the region, have a combined capacity of 18.6 MW, generating enough electricity to power 26 000 EVs per year. The wind farm will enhance regional self-sufficiency, supplying 60 GWh annually, a significant boost for the area. The project started 18 months ago and is now nearing completion, on time and on budget.Project manager Sebastian Prause has been in the charge of the project: – It is a fantastic feeling to finally see the turbines spinning. Overseeing a project like this is fascinating on so many levels. From dealing with technical challenges to talking to people in the local community. But a project like this is so much more than just construction work. – We have an ongoing collaboration with the local secondary school Lindeskolan, where we have given lectures and taken students on site visits to learn about renewable energy and the exciting job opportunities we have in the renewable energy sector. A unique aspect of this project is the fact that local foundry Baettr has supplied some of the large key components to the turbines. – This windfarm is a prime example how the renewable sector contributes to local job creation. As a Nordic renewable energy company, it is important for us to support a strong European supply chain, says Sebastian. A big thank you to Vestas for the excellent work and good progress on site. Also a big shout out to the local suppliers and the people at Linde energi, Sweco WSP Kanonaden Entreprenad Mälardalen AB Kanonaden Entreprenad Tobias Lindenberger Joakim Svensson Veith Tluczykont Marie-Ange Gautier Jakob Sahlander Daniel Frick Tobias Hendberg Rikard Hagen Daniel Jernstedt Carolina Wesley Lars Skoglund We couldn't have done it without your efforts and commitment!

Collaboration for increased safety at Sundby Wind farm   Wind farms are rapidly becoming a crucial part of our energy infrastructure. It is therefore important to proactively focus on various safety issues, both in terms of health & safety for us and our suppliers, but also for the general public.   Last week, we held a joint safety exercise with the Fire Department Eskilstuna kommun and Vestas at our Sundby wind farm.   The aim of the day was to share information and familiarise all parties with the layout and features of the wind farm, to improve coordination and, most importantly, to ensure that all parties are well prepared in the event of an emergency.   The rescue exercises allowed us to test our protocols and align our knowledge, but also highlighted the importance of strong communication and collaboration.   A big thank you to everyone who took part! This kind of proactive planning and teamwork is key to maintaining the safety of our wind farm for our partners, the public and the environment. Hesam Mortazavi Erik William Welle-Strand Stig J.

🌟 Driving Renewable Energy Forward at Pareto Securities' Energy Conference 🌟 Cloudberry Clean Energy is grateful to have participated in Pareto Securities 31st Annual Energy Conference today. Our team, represented by Anders Lenborg, Christian A. Helland and Ingrid Bjørdal had a busy and engaging day, with significant interest from the market. The enthusiasm for renewable energy is evident, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead. However, we share the concern expressed in the opening by Christian Jomaas: Governments and regulations continue to be the limiting factor for renewables, not capital. Cloudberry is perfectly positioned to meet the growing demand for renewable energy. Our strategy of creating value through developing, owning, and operating renewable energy projects aligns with the market's needs. To truly accelerate the energy transition, we need a supportive regulatory framework and bold political action. Thank you to Pareto Securities for hosting such an impactful event. Together, we drive the transition to a sustainable future. #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Cloudberry #ParetoSecurities

Creating Local Value through Wind Power – Increased funding for Municipalities 💚 For the green transition to succeed, value must be shared locally. And the energy transition just became fairer when the Swedish government recently decided to transfer property tax revenues from wind farms directly to the municipalities hosting them. For smaller municipalities, this will be a much-needed boost to fund essential public services.   We know that this funding will be a very welcome addition to small municipalities struggling to fund and prioritise between equally important services to their populations. We like to think that renewable energy adds value beyond the expected. With this important step wind farms directly support local municipalities. With the Swedish government's outspoken commitment to implementing the proposals from the Värdet av vinden (SOU 2023:18) report, wind farms will soon also, under a common legislation, contribute directly to the communities adjacent wind farm.   These are much anticipated reforms. We look forward to seeing these steps realised, accelerating our mission to power a sustainable future. Photo: Sundby Wind farm, Eskilstuna.
