What WPD Scandinavia does

wpd Scandinavia AB is a privately held Swedish renewable energy project developer and operator, wholly owned by the German wpd group (wpd onshore GmbH & Co. KG). The company develops, finances, builds, and operates land-based wind farms and — since June 2023 — solar parks in Sweden, with a stated intent to retain at least 50% ownership in developed assets. The Swedish subsidiary has been active since 2002 and maintains a small team of approximately 20 employees across offices in Stockholm (headquarters), Skåne, Umeå, Storuman, and Piteå, supported by the parent group's 1,300-1,400 employees and 7,175 MW of installed capacity across 32 countries.

The company's core technology stack is built on third-party wind turbines (Nordex N163 series, Vestas V150) and solar PV installations, with wpd providing the end-to-end project development capability — site identification, environmental assessment, permitting, financing, construction, and ongoing technical operations and maintenance. The current Swedish operating portfolio comprises Aldermyrberget (17 turbines, ~270 GWh/year, commissioned 2022), Stöllsäterberget (8 turbines, ~155 GWh/year, commissioned 2023), and Tomasliden (10 turbines, ~200 GWh/year, commissioned 2024). A multi-gigawatt development pipeline includes Broboberget & Lannaberget (740 MW), Råliden (450 MW), Klöverberget (90 MW), Ripfjället (200 MW), Stormossen (265 MW — application withdrawn June 2026), and Vaberget (joint venture with Eolus).

wpd's revenue mechanics derive from three streams: (1) long-term electricity production revenue from owned wind and solar parks, (2) Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) sold directly to industrial and commercial customers for renewable electricity supply, and (3) land lease (arrende) agreements with landowners. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting landowners for site control, municipalities for permitting and community support, grid operators (Ellevio, Skellefteå Kraft) for interconnection, and industrial buyers for PPAs. The Swedish operations benefit from private, founder-led ownership at the parent level, enabling long-dated capital deployment across multi-year permitting and construction cycles without public-market quarterly pressures.
