Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on OX2, Kelme 2 wind farm, Agilitas Energy’s Rhode Island solar project, among others.
OX2 Acquires 36-MW Swedish Wind Farm to Expand Nordic Portfolio
OX2 has acquired the 36-MW Raskiftet wind farm in Varmland County, Sweden, from Norwegian investors as part of its strategy to expand its operational asset portfolio in the Nordics. Commissioned in 2018, the site features 12 turbines and generates approximately 130 GWh of clean electricity annually—enough to power 26,000 homes. This move aligns with OX2’s growth strategy to complement its development pipeline with income-generating operational assets. The wind farm uses proven onshore wind technology and supports stable, long-term power delivery. By taking over asset management, OX2 enhances control over performance and sustainability. The acquisition underscores its commitment to scalable, low-carbon energy solutions while delivering reliable benefits to local consumers and contributing to Sweden’s renewable energy and climate objectives.
Kelme 2 Wind Farm Nears Completion with Final Turbine Installation
E Energija is set to complete turbine installation at the 87-MW Kelme 2 wind farm in Lithuania, with the final turbine scheduled for imminent placement. The project consists of 14 Nordex turbines and marks the second phase of the larger 300-MW Kelme wind cluster. Once operational, Kelme 2 will supply enough green electricity to power over 90,000 households annually. The project aligns with Lithuania’s national strategy to increase energy independence and renewable capacity. E Energija focuses on advanced wind technologies and efficient project execution. Benefits include reduced carbon emissions, enhanced local energy security, and economic stimulus through green infrastructure. The company continues to invest in scalable wind assets that support both environmental goals and regional development.
Agilitas Energy Expands Portfolio with Rhode Island Solar Project
Agilitas Energy has expanded its portfolio by acquiring the West Greenwich Solar project in Rhode Island. The project has a generation capacity of 6.4 MW DC (5 MW AC) and is paired with a 3.3-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), enabling grid stability and better peak demand management. Originally developed by NEC Energy Solutions, the site is now fully operational. Agilitas is executing its strategy to scale integrated solar-plus-storage projects across the U.S. Northeast, emphasizing technological efficiency and local grid support. The investment aligns with Rhode Island’s clean energy targets and supports regional energy resilience. Innovation lies in combining renewable generation with storage, benefiting utilities, communities, and customers by lowering emissions, enhancing energy reliability, and accelerating the transition to sustainable power.
