    The portfolio includes nine projects located in the Swedish part of the Western Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Bothnian Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia. The total potential capacity of the projects is approx. 21 000 MW with an expected annual production of over 80 TWh per year. As part of the company's strategy to grow significantly in wind power, Statkraft is planning considerable investments in offshore wind power in Sweden going forward.

    - Njordr Offshore Wind has been a pioneer within offshore wind in Sweden, establishing a strong project team and a significant project pipeline by utilizing the project origination expertise of Vindkraft Värmland. This transaction validates Njordr's strategy and how we are able to realise significant value from taking early positions, says Anders Hærland, chairman of the board of Njordr.

    Work is now starting to integrate Svevind Nordic and Njordr Offshore Wind into Statkraft's operations. The Svevind brand will remain for other operations that the Svevind Group conducts outside of Sweden. The Njordr Group also has operations in onshore wind and solar power in Sweden, Norway and Finland. These activities are not covered by the transaction.
