Suomen Hyötytuuli has said it is ready to start production test runs at the Alajoki-Peuralinna wind farm in Finland.
The Finnish developer will increase its capacity by 90MW by taking its eighth wind farm into production.
The Alajoki-Peuralinna array has entered the test phase and will be taken into use within the next few months, the developer said.
The project, located in Ostrobothnia, Finland, consists of 14 6MW turbines, delivered by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy AB.
The wind farm was constructed during 2021-2023.
Suomen Hyötytuuli’s business development director for energy Jaakko Kleemola said: “The completion of the Alajoki-Peuralinna wind farm will be an important milestone for Suomen Hyötytuuli.
“Together with the Oosinselkä wind farm, they will nearly double our production capacity.
“We thank our owners for their contribution to making these investments possible. Our work for cleaner, renewable energy production continues.”
During the winter, Suomen Hyötytuuli is also expected to complete the Oosinselkä wind farm near Pori on the western coast of Finland, while the construction work at the Siikajoki scheme continues until the end of 2024.
At the completion of these projects, Suomen Hyötytuuli’s total capacity will amount to 650MW and the annual production exceeds 1900GWh.
The company also has several sites in the development phase, including the Tahkoluoto offshore wind farm extension scheme.
