Siemens Gamesa and OX2 have signed a turbine agreement for the 145MW Niinimäki wind project in the Southern Savonia region of Finland.
The project will use 22 SG 6.6-170 wind turbines and includes a 35-year service contract.
The wind farm is due to be commissioned in late 2024.
The turbines will have a hub height of 165 metres, to capitalise on strong wind speeds found in the region.
The deal follows a 70MW agreement for the Riberget project in Sweden signed with OX2 last month, as the two companies collaborate once more to push wind energy forward in the country.
Once installation is complete, expected in late 2024, Siemens Gamesa will assume maintenance services for the project over the 35-year period.
“Our collaboration with OX2 continues to grow in the Nordics with another significant deal in Finland.
“The country is truly stepping on the accelerator in its drive to promote wind energy and we are pleased to provide leading technology to help meet its ambitions,” said Clark MacFarlane, CEO for Siemens Gamesa’s onshore operation in Northern Europe and the Middle East.
According to industry body WindEurope, wind energy accounts for 10% of Finland’s electricity, and its objective is for that to increase to at least 27% by 2025, through both onshore and offshore wind.
Finland aims to be carbon neutral by 2035.
This latest deal in the country builds on several others that Siemens Gamesa has collaborated on with partner OX2 since 2016 which total over 700MW.
