The team works very closely with the rest of the Swedish Commercial team, where their focus is the development of our projects including land acquisition, environmental permits and other activities to make the project ready to build.

• Dialogue with our construction and engineering teams on the interface between the grid and park.
• Tariff optimisation and cost calculations.
• Technical compliance (RfG and other project specific requirements).
• Regulatory aspects of grid connections.
• Updating the project pipeline with grid related costs and time estimates.
