Better Energy has entered into a partnership with Finnish solar developer Forus to install over 1GW of PV projects in Finland.
The partners said that the goal is to build solar parks in the most sustainable way in Finland.
Landowners, neighbours, and other stakeholders will be involved early in the processes, and local nature will be considered in each project, they said.
Forus chief executive Eero Oksanen said: “Better Energy is the best possible partner for us. We share the same values and aspirations to make a change.
“Finland could produce over five times its need of power with wind and solar.
“Nordics should take bigger responsibility for the energy production of Europe, or EU is risking either its green targets or its autonomy.”
Better Energy will fund, construct, operate and own the solar power plants in Finland and the Finnish pipeline will add to growing activities in Denmark, Poland, and Sweden with an accumulated pipeline of 7GW.
Better Energy chief executive Rasmus Lildholdt Kjaer said: “Locally produced, clean, sustainable energy is critical not only for our climate and environment but also to European security policy.
“We need to move towards energy independence and away from coal, oil and gas from authoritarian regimes. On all accounts, time is of the essence.”
