A significant amount of new wind power is planned in Finland, totaling almost 70,000 megawatts. The majority of projects will be located on land, but the share of offshore wind power is also growing rapidly. The large project portfolio reflects the continuous development of the sector and the potential for future investments. Wind power plays a key role in increasing the production of clean electricity and supporting the energy transition. Read the full article hereRead Wind Power Projects in Finland 16.1.2026 here

Tuulikolmio is investigating the placement of a 15-20MW data center in Pieksämäki for its partner. The investigation is based on the growing interest in entities where investment decisions for the data center and renewable energy production can be made simultaneously. This benefits the availability of project financing for both projects and the financing terms. – Our partners are currently primarily looking for entities that have the opportunity to invest in renewable energy production and the electricity consumption that benefits the nearby area at the same time, says…

According to the Finnish renewable energy project list, 128 onshore wind power projects are currently planned for Northern Ostrobothnia, of which approximately one third will be implemented to the point of electricity production. This means that the region has the potential for, among other things, over 35 million in property tax revenue in the first year of operation of the implemented wind turbines alone. Projects are planned for a total of 27 municipalities in the region, and the largest number of them are pending in Pyhäjärvi. Read the full article here

According to a study by LUT University, the concentration of Finnish wind power on the west coast causes large fluctuations in electricity prices, because the simultaneous production peak sharply lowers the market price. By decentralizing wind power in Eastern and Northern Finland, prices could also remain more stable, producers' incomes would be more stable, and the electricity grid would be less loaded.

Wind power construction in Europe is progressing too slowly, warns the industry's umbrella organization WindEurope. According to the organization, the EU's energy security and competitiveness are at risk unless national governments streamline permitting processes and support electrification and grid investments. According to WindEurope's Viktoriya Kerelska, the Finnish government also needs to create a predictable operating environment so that the country's significant wind power potential can be fully utilized.
