Finnish developer TuuliWatti is building a 21MW subsidy-free wind farm in the Nordic country’s municipality of Ii on the Bay of Bothnia.
The Viinamaki project, due for completion next year, will feature five Vestas V150-4.2MW turbines with tower heights of 175 metres and 250-metre tip heights.
TuuliWatti calculates the specifications will push production costs below €30 per megawatt-hour.
According to the developer, the project will be largest wind power investment in the Nordic region to operate without public subsidies.
TuuliWatti, which is co-owned by energy outfit St1 and retail giant S Group, says it has invested €650m in wind power in less than a decade and is planning to expand into other Nordic countries.
