Twin Peaks is a substantial renewable energy asset located in central Sweden, approximately 100km from Östersund. The Project is comprised of two operational wind farms with 39 x 6.2MW Siemens turbines giving a combined capacity of 242MW. Twin Peaks can power over 45,000 homes and is supporting Sweden’s progress towards its 2045 net-zero carbon emissions target.
InfraRed acquired the whole Twin Peaks project in 2021 from Arise, a Swedish renewable energy company, and construction commenced shortly afterwards. InfraRed’s asset management team was heavily involved throughout the construction phase providing oversight and guidance, with Twin Peaks becoming operational on 30 April 2024 on time and on budget.
Dulce Mendonça, Partner, InfraRed Capital Partners, said: “The partial sale of Twin Peaks is a testament to InfraRed’s expertise in bringing construction projects to fruition and our ability to deliver value for our investors.”
