(Bloomberg) – Markbygden ETT, located in a southern Makaria plateau in Sweden, and online at the end of the last decade, the wind development of the largest onshore wind turned into a crown jewelry. Although the long-term contract was safe, based on the forecasting of energy prices or weather conditions, there was an expensive lesson in the threats of transactions.

In the years, the operator Markbygden ETT AB hit a loss of hundreds of millions of euros and a severe influential blow. This returns to a critical mistake: To enter a 19-year contract, to enter a contract known as a power buyer agreement, which includes unrealistic expectations, which is not realistic about electricity. If the wind is not or turbines, if the turbines are offline, Markbygden ETT has to make the difference in the ETT market, which is determined by dynamically existence.
Russia has united the problem of Ukraine. This led to an increase in energy prices, and the spiral of the project caused material distress.
Markbygden ETT’s situation is not unique. As a result of catastrophic power buyer contracts, at least two other large Swedish wind parks were forced to cancel power agreements in the energy market. Analysts say other cases in Germany and Nordic countries have not yet been made public. As a result, the terms of these perennial transactions are more flexible.

Power purchase contracts are likely to win. Norwegian aluminum manufacturer Norshegian aluminum manufacturer Norshegium producer Norskius Hydro ETT is guaranteed by the province, and wind farm owners need these agreements to ensure bank financing and prevent the turbulence of the theoretical market. Markbygden says ETT, analysts and industrial sources require an ambitious PPA to offer banks finance.
The problem of these regulations was that when the wind does not have a jam, the parks were still forced to provide energy.
Markbygden first looked like a safe bet. Project plans, Hans Bergstrom, Hans Bergstrom was hired by a professor Emeritus in Meteorology at the University of Uppsala, a wind development to find appropriate places. When Markbygden discovered the area later, the wind speed in the summer was 40% of the valleys of the surrounding river.
“It was a surprisingly large area,” he said. “If you want to build in northern Sweden, it was a very unique place without entering the mountain range.”

The project suffered from late for years due to red ribbons. In 2017, Macquarie Group Ltd. Gig ARM and GE Energy services were closed for 800 million euros in the Markbygden ETT project. It would be a flagship project at the Markbygden complex of wind farms. Finally, Sweden was expected to win 8% of the annual energy consumption. In 2018, China’s CGN managed the wind park in Europe as part of expansion.
Markbygden ETT’s PPA signed with Norsk Hydro, all other ppas came out of the water. Accurate commercial conditions are closely protecting secrets, industrial sources reflect the market confidence, 25 € per hour, 25 € per hour, when energy prices will remain low. At the age of 19, the contract was also much longer. For comparison, 2023 Bloombergnef research put an average of 10-15-year-old PPA prices for dry wind in Sweden, put more than 60 euros to Meegawatt-hour.
“We are all very excited about it when agreed. The deal doubled the volume of power contracted under new corporate ppas in Europe.

Markbygden ETT began to deliver a contract in 2021. However, only a year later, Russia attacked Ukraine by sending record prices to Ukraine. This is usually good for a generator, but Markbygden ETT was not able to deliver on a permanent basis, it is optimally up to 1.65 teravatt-clock because it becomes a disaster every year. To meet his obligation, the company had to buy electricity in the country for 2022 years of accounting.
As the electricity slipped the price, the Markbygden ETT needed to be purchased more financial burden. Due to its annual accounts, losses from 24 million euros to 175 million euros in 2021 € 2023. Reconstruction plan was approved in late last year, and PPA voluntarily canceled.
Hydro, according to the court document, 248 million euros, 248 million euros will be required. By the end of 2023, liabilities to credit organizations were 381.5 million euros. Markbygden ETT’s latest property was transferred to a Dutch Foundation within the restructuring.
Other companies who signed similar deals also suffered. Aldermırberget Wind Park, Markbygden’dan an hour of an hour south of the mining company, the material was distressed after the PPA Boldiden EU, forced additional electricity in the open market. Even more southern, extreme wind park is reconstructed since August. After starting to buy a PPA’s substitute with Hydro, it increased great losses.

Overtureen’s owner Cloud Snurran EU, in 2023, the park produces 15% less electricity than expected. At the end of 2022, the height of the energy crisis, Aldermırberget, which fights low winds and ice on turbine knives, said in the annual report. “Extraordinary Weather”, EB Eee LHI VindkraftPark Aldermyrberget EU described the EU as “extremely unfavorable.”
Representatives for the owners of OverTurkey and AldermirGet refused to comment on this article.
Markbygden Operating Company on ETT finally plans to sell a wind farm, September, the presidential chairman and re-establishing specialist in Britain in England David Hargrave. He will appear in entering “perhaps a ppa nature” or a similar agreement. “You have more confidence in the ideal world to trust your daily merchant prices,” Hargrave said.
PPA, however, will remain important. In September, the European Commission’s Draghi report, the price for large industrial players, the price of confidence, stressed the role of increasing the competitiveness of Europe.

Seeing the fight of wind parks, Alexander Esser, the head of Nordics in the Aurora Energy Research, said that operators covered more flexible offtake agreements “than volume and price risks.
Customers also change their approaches. During the three years of Hydro-secured, three new long-term PPA, according to the last annual report, it was approved at the same time as an e-mail commentary of the “Probably” period of PPA.
CEO Matilda Afzelius for the Nordic region, Renewable Energy Systems Holdings Ltd., when it comes to financing massive green projects in the industry, he said. “We are doing a natural resource here, always change,” he said. “Of course, things can happen and the mistake can go.”
Markbygden did not lose the geographical area after Ettin failure. Because Norway’s State Property Statkraft is acquainted with a new wind project in 2023, Statkraft signed a memorandum of understanding with the iron ore giant LKAB to sell power in December. If it is upcoming, it can be ready in 2029.
Location is great, saying Jakob Norstrom, General Director of Statkraft in Sweden. However, when one PPA signed, it was a careful note: “It is important to find the right balance because you do not promise.”
