Opening ceremony for Sweden’s first large-scale solar park on forest land
On Tuesday, June 11, Sunna Group's Henja solar park, Sweden's first large-scale solar park on forest land, located outside Gislaved in Jönköping County, was […]
We offer a reliable and long-term investment that contributes to more renewable electricity generation as a key part of the green transition.
Locally produced solar power secures the local community's access to renewable electricity and enables regional establishment and expansion of businesses.
We choose not to use fencing around our facilities and always plan for implementing targeted actions to enrich biodiversity at the site.
At Sunna, we have extensive experience and expertise in large-scale solar installations and we have a long-term vision and commitment.
Sunna develops and owns utility-scale solar parks in the Nordics. Our ambition is to increase the amount of solar power in the energy system in a way that benefits biodiversity. Long-term relationships with Nordic capital partners means that we are a sustainable operator in the Swedish energy market.
Biodiversity entails supporting landscapes that can support several different species and large genetic varieties. It’s vital we protect biodiversity because of its central role in ensuring the survival of systems that support both nature and human life. Healthy biodiversity is crucial, for example, in underpinning the supply of clean water, air and the pollination of our crops for food production.
Scientists are also in agreement that the current pressure on biodiversity is very concerning. In the spring of 2018, the UN-established Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) published reports which assessed the loss of global ecological health to be as great a threat to the world as climate change.
We must do better at protecting our biodiversity. To ensure the continued development of stable ecosystems, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced and more of our landscape rewilded and given back to nature.
Electricity generated by solar power is a crucial building block in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and will play a significant role in the electrification of the future. Solar power parks built on existing low value land also ensure that greenfield sites remain untouched, and existing biodiversity supported and allowed to flourish.
