Arise initiates Phase 2 of Jädraås project
The planned investment decision for Phase 2 of the Jädraås project, involving
the construction of a further 70 MW (23 turbines), has now been taken by the
Board of Directors of Arise. Phase 1 comprises 130 MW (43 turbines) and
construction is proceeding as planned.
The total investment for Phase 1 and 2 is SEK 3.1 billion. The project is owned
in equal shares by Arise and Platina Partners LLP and is fully funded.

Arise will account for half.
When the Jädraås wind farm is fully operational in spring 2013 Arise will have
240 MW in operation with a total annual production of about 640 GWh of renewable
electricity, including the company’s share in the Jädraås project.
