Significant events

In August, the company entered into a three-year management agreement with Vänern wind farm. Under the agreement, Rabbalshede is responsible for the management, monitoring, service and maintenance of seven of the wind turbines at Vänern wind farm. The agreement is for three years, with an option to extend for an additional two years.

On August 31, Rabbalshede Kraft finalized refinancing of the company with Swedbank, which means that the company now has a new loan structure in place that creates a stable base for the company for the foreseeable future. As a result of the refinancing, we have concluded a period of focus on internal consolidation, and we are now ready for growth.

On September 1, Martin Pettersen was hired to head business development, and will be part of the management group. Martin comes to us from Mpiro Windpower, his own consulting firm specializing in advisory services around sales and acquisitions of wind farms and projects.

At the beginning of September, Rabbalshede Kraft sold the permit for Vetteberget to Waros Holding AB.

Significant events after the end of the period

On October 1, Lyrestad wind farm was inaugurated.

On November 20, Wenche Gullaksen was hired as Sales Manager, and will be part of the management group. Wenche has worked in the electricity market with both consumption and production for seven years, among others at Danske Commodities and Energiförsäljning Sverige.
