Neoen, one of the world’s leading producers of exclusively renewable energy, and Alight, a leading European solar developer and independent power producer, have commissioned and celebrated the start of the operations of Hultsfred Solar Farm today. With 100 MWp installed capacity, it is the largest of its kind in Sweden. Jointly developed and owned by Neoen (majority shareholder) and Alight, Hultsfred Solar Farm is connected to the E.ON local grid distribution system, in Hultsfred in the province of Småland in southern Sweden. The asset was funded by Neoen and Alight with the support of a structured debt finance package from Danske Bank.
The project is supported by a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) signed in 2022 with H&M Group, under which the solar farm is providing the Swedish fashion company with 95% of the renewable energy and guarantees of origin produced. The agreement plays an important role in H&M Group’s goal to source only renewable electricity by 2030 at the latest.
Construction was completed on time by contractors Equans Solar & Storage and Solkompaniet, the solar farm started injecting electricity into the grid in April 2025 and is now fully commissioned. Its annual production is expected to reach 100 GWh of green energy, which corresponds to the annual consumption of around 18,000 Swedish homes. The solar farm has been built using low-carbon photovoltaic panels installed around the runway of Hultsfred airport.
“I would like to congratulate our partners Alight, H&M, Equans & Solkompaniet, E.on, and the municipality for this great achievement. Hultsfred Solar Farm is our fourth asset entering into operation in Sweden, bringing the total capacity of the fleet to 304 MW (including Storbränkullen wind farm, Storen Power Reserve and Isbillen Power Reserve). With these three complementary technologies of solar, wind and storage at scale, we are actively contributing to Sweden’s clean energy transition,” said Laetitia Prot, Managing Director for Neoen Sweden.
