Midsummer pivots to asset-light solar cell factory expansion with industrial partners

• Midsummer put plans for a solar cell factory in Flen on hold, shifting expansion focus to overseas projects with partners.
• EU grant for the Flen project declined, reflecting a move away from self-financed, capital-intensive greenfield builds.
• New “asset-light” strategy targets machine sales, materials supply, and technology support to partner-led factories across multiple continents.
• Colombia partner project anchors the model with machinery orders totaling about SEK 380 million tied to at least 100 MW annual capacity.
• Italy capacity expansion continues, with the Bari site planned to reach 50 MW annual output when fully operational.
