Vindkraft AB located in municipality of Lindesberg in the attractive SE3 price
area of Sweden.
Phase one of the project will have a capacity of 18 MW where Cloudberry is in
final negotiations with the German turbine supplier Eno-Energy for three 6 MW

already initiated. With this acquisition, Cloudberry further boosts its
portfolio of late-stage development assets in SE3. With Munkhyttan, Cloudberry
now has Stenkalles (100 MW), Duvhällen (60 MW) and Kafjärden (18-40 MW) in late

layout, grid, and turbine efficiency», says Christian Helland, CVO at Cloudberry
