E.ON will work with the Swedish paper giant to evaluate the onshore projects, which have a total potential to house about 270 turbines, says SCA.

The deal includes projects currently managed by the group’s SCA Vind subsidiary in Härnösand, Kramfors and Timrå.

The agreement also covers wind projects in southern Ånge and in Ljusdal.

A separate wind joint venture between SCA and Norwegian utility Statkraft is not affected by the deal, says a spokesman for the Swedish company.
