The treatment plant, which is being built by NCC on behalf of Österåker Municipality, will be equipped with solar panels both on the roof and parts of the facade to maximize solar energy production. The total capacity is estimated to be around 500 kW and the entire project is expected to be completed in 2029, which means that the solar cell installation is carried out in stages in line with the rest of the construction work.
The plant was developed in consultation with the Selatek Group, which is the electrical contractor for the project.
The new wastewater treatment plant will be operated by Roslagsvatten and is part of Österåker municipality's larger investment in sustainable infrastructure solutions, designed to improve water quality in the municipality.
Facade installation of solar energy
What makes the project unique is the investment in solar cells also on the facades, which complements the roof installations for a higher total energy production. This initiative contributes to strengthening Österåker municipality's environmental profile.
- I myself grew up in the municipality and admire this major investment. I'm even more pleased that we at SBP get to take part in the environmental investment they are making in connection with this profile project. It clearly signals how the municipality intends to participate in the green transition also in the future and will inspire others to take the step towards solar energy as a primary energy source, says Alexander Backström
