Hörby solar park

On Listerlandet, Hörby shows how efficient design can deliver a high level of renewable electricity production on a limited area. Here, sheep graze between and under the panels.

New power where it is needed most

Southern Sweden has a large demand for energy and a production deficit. Price area SE4, where the park is, is one of the two areas in Sweden with the highest demand for power and the highest prices.

  • A long-term fixed-price agreement

    Vida buys the power through the utility Bixia under a long-term fixed-price agreement, a PPA. Bixia and Vida have worked together on power trading since 2014.

  • Sheep grazing in the park

    Vida is looking into letting sheep graze in the park in summer. The panels give shade that makes the grass more nutritious.

  • A grid in balance

    Since September 2024 the park’s output can be switched off for short periods when there is too much power in the grid.

Powering our production with solar power is an important step in our climate work.
