According to what the subcontractors told SVT, they were promised 80 percent in downtime compensation at that time. The idea was that their machines and personnel would be prepared to run with two hours' notice.

Asked to borrow

It is now eight weeks ago, but the compensation to the subcontractors has in many cases been completely absent, and in the past two weeks the dissatisfaction has begun to spread from the caravans in Viksjö where machine owners and machine operators spend their days playing card games. For lack of money, they have been advised by their clients to lend their unpaid invoices, known as factoring, to keep their noses above the surface of the water.

Many meetings get notified

Meetings at the People's House in Viksjö have succeeded each other, but the main contractors who have contracted the subcontractors have not been able to give any information about when the money will come. When SVT visited one of these meetings organized by the main contractor Active Works the other day, a cartoon - Karl Alfred Boy - was shown and offered gingerbread in a vain attempt to keep the mood up.

Who hasn't paid?

There are many tens of millions that have not been paid out, so the question is what happened and where the money was stuck.

Let's start from the top of the payment chain that will lead to the subcontractors getting their money. The project is owned by the German energy company RWE and the Swiss major bank Credit Suisse, which for its part formed the project company Nysäter Wind to complete the construction. When we ask Per Nordlund, CEO of Nysäter Wind, if this is where the problem arose, we are told that Nysäter Wind has paid all invoices down the payment chain. Punctually.

This means that their total contractor in Viksjö, the German-Spanish wind power company Nordex, has been paid. The question then is that if Nordex, in turn, paid its main contractors, that is, the companies that in turn contracted the subcontractors. This is the question that cannot be categorically answered with a yes or a no. Yes, says Nordex Sweden CEO Timothy Carpenter when we ask him while Active Works' answer to the same question becomes a no.

Active Works is the main contractor who has contracted most of the dissatisfied subcontractors in Viksjö, some 20, but no representative of the company has wanted to make an official appearance. Instead, the company has referred to several of the subcontractors concerned and tried to openly direct their message to the media. The obvious purpose has been to put the blame on Nordex.

Who is held accountable?

The question is whether the situation in Viksjö will get its solution on Monday. It is unclear what was the result of Thursday's crisis meeting in Viksjö, but the question is whether the dispute over the subcontractors 'money is really about something completely different from the subcontractors' money. During the time SVT followed the conflict, there was a suspicion that the subcontractors were taken hostage for an entirely different issue.

There is another unresolved question at the wind farm in Viksjö, the question of who or which of the companies involved will ultimately be seated with "black petters" - that is, who should be made responsible for the sloppiness with the environmental issues on the building so far led to a construction stoppage of eight weeks.

Each day the building stands still, the final note increases by millions.
