57 Cloudberry Annual report 2022 Sustainability report construction, and the final step is to make compensations for any remaining damage. Theoretically, a high enough level of compensation could lead to projects having a net-positive impact on nature (biodiversity net gain). Our activities To understand and assess our impact on biodiversity, Cloudberry will develop a strategy on how to track the effects of our impact in our future projects. It is essential that we collaborate with partners to develop measurement tools. Accordingly, in 2022 Cloudberry participated in the project group for Changing Land use Impact on Biodiversity CLImB, a method and tool for measuring biodiversity impact and avoidance under development projects. Cloudberry always looks for solutions to minimize our impact on nature and biodiversity. During the construction phases in 2022 we: · Consulted with biologists on how to conduct early-stage mapping of potential compensation areas at the Munkhyttan wind farm development project · Minimized our nature footprint at the Hån wind farm by using just in time deliveries to avoid building curves for storage of wind turbine blade · Established a fund to safeguard and protect biodiversity in and surrounding the river at the Åmotfoss hydropower plant · For all early-stage development projects we have established a library of ideas and potential solutions on biodiversity and how to minimize nature impact The construction of the Hån wind farm in Sweden, at the boarder to Norway, began in August 2021 and was in operation in December 2022. With its five turbines, Hån is expected to produce 74 GWh annually. The energy is transferred to the Norwegian grid due to a lack of capacity in the Swedish grid. Hån is the first wind farm in Cloudberry’s portfolio where we oversaw the entire process, and sustainability topics and assessments on environmental, social and governance aspects have been reported on during the development and construction phases.
