Speed's plant nominated for the Solar Energy Award.

Today we are extra proud at Speed. We have been nominated for this year's Solar Energy Award (Solenergipriset) in the category Plant of the Year. It is our solar cell plant on the roof of the property in Viareds - the largest in the Nordic region - that has prompted the nomination.
At Speed, we have decided to have a CO2-neutral business by 2025. We all have a responsibility for the climate and we do everything we can to take ours. That's why last year we installed the Nordic region's largest roof-based solar cell system - both in terms of area and capacity - at our new warehouse property in Viared, outside Borås. The solar cells cover a gigantic area of 60,000 m² and produce 4 gigawatt hours of lovely green electricity. The facility has now been recognized by Svensk Solenergi with a nomination for the Solar Energy Award as Plant of the Year.
- It's fantastic that our commitment and the investments we make in sustainable business are recognized in this way," says Mats Johnson, CEO of Speed.
Svensk Solenergi is the organization behind the award, and their focus is to work for a greener Sweden by being the leading voice for solar energy. Since 2004, the Solar Energy Prize has been awarded in two categories - Plant of the Year and Achievement of the Year. The awards go to facilities, companies or individuals whose achievements are worth highlighting as good examples to be inspired by.
The winners are selected by a jury consisting of researchers from Chalmers and Rise, among others, and are revealed at an award ceremony on February 17.
