In a parallel development, Fortum has also acquired the majority of ABO Energy’s Finnish pipeline, which includes projects at various stages of development. This acquisition was highlighted in several reports, including those from Fixed Income, EQS-Adhoc, and Anleihen Finder. The transaction is a strategic step for Fortum to enhance its project development capabilities and expand its footprint in the Finnish energy market.
