Finnish developer and clean energy company Enersense is participating in a centre of excellence and operations that the City of Pori is building around offshore wind power.
The company is part of a steering group that also includes the city and harbour of Pori, as well as Suisto Kiinteistöt, which is owned by the city, Suomen Hyötytuuli and Dutch Olmar, which provides logistical services to the harbour.
The centre of excellence will also employ international wind power technology and service providers.
“The Bothnian Sea is also in international considerations one of the most suitable areas for wind power turbines: within a radius of 400 km from Pori altogether 15 large wind power projects have been published in Finland and Sweden.
“The centre of excellence will support Enersense’s growth ambitions and enables an improved role for Enersense as an EPCI supplier.
“Enersense’s wind power expertise and our 50,000 m2 production facilities in Mäntyluoto, Pori, have a significant role in building up the centre of excellence, and we believe that the cooperation between the different operators will gather substantial synergies”, said Jaakko Leivo, EVP, Smart Industry.
