The Finnish government should ensure the adequacy of zero-emission electricity in the future and use the subsidies to accelerate the construction of offshore wind farms. In an article in Helsingin Sanomat, Teemu Loikkanen, CEO of OX2, hopes that a model for building offshore wind power will be sought from our neighbor Sweden. Loikkanen suggests that the state use subsidies to accelerate investment by reducing the online costs of projects. Read here how the Swedish model reduces the cost of building wind power!

Wind power is the fastest and cheapest way to increase renewable electricity and electricity production that meets the criteria for green hydrogen in Finland. Electrolysis of water is a completely emission-free way to produce hydrogen, in which water molecules are broken down into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. Electrolysis generates green hydrogen, which is the path to a carbon-neutral society and the creation of a competitive industry internationally.

In Finland, companies are ready for climate action. Many wind power projects are being built in Finland, where large electricity consumers undertake to buy some or all of the electricity they generate from wind farms, for example for 10 years. Consumers are concluding more electricity contracts for wind power because of its environmental friendliness. Read more about the climate requirements of investors and consumers here in an article on the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation!

According to the ELY Centre's press release, the application queue for special transport permits has been very long from time to time this year, and the total number of applications has increased by as much as 25% compared to previous years. The number of permit applications is expected to rise to 12,500 this year. The transport of parts of windmills is currently concentrated in the regions of Central Finland and Ostrobothnia. See the article on the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation (YLE) for more information on permit processing schedules.

In particular, the strong growth of hydropower and wind power raised the share of renewable energy sources in electricity production to record levels. This was the first time that the share had risen by more than half, with a total production of 66.6 TWh, of which renewable energy accounted for 34.7 TWh. Read here in Ilta-Sanomat's article how renewable energy sources did well in the production of district heating and industrial heat.    

The last landowner meeting of the Moukankangas wind power project was at Kuusenmäki Village House on 12 October. at 18.00. At the event, we presented you with the status of the project and the timetable for progress. The zoning initiative is in the draft phase and a decision on whether to take the zoning initiative into consideration will be made within the next two weeks. Supporting the project is in everyone's common interest and it is important to show the support of landowners to the municipality. If you want to express your support for the project, you can do so to the municipal representation, see…

According to a press release published by the Finnish Wind Power Association (STY), the Swedish government published a decision this week according to which the Swedish grid company will promote the import of the grid into the sea. According to the Finnish Wind Power Association, the Swedish government's promotion measures would mean significant support for Swedish offshore wind projects. Read more about how this affects wind power investments in Finland.

Dear landowners, The Moukankankangas wind power project has now progressed to the zoning initiative phase and we invite you to Kuusenmäki Village House (Liittoperäntie 42, 86800 Pyhäsalmi) on Tuesday 12 October at 6 pm to update the project situation and planned schedule. The village house has coffee service. We bring with us the counterparts of the land lease agreements and the agreed amendments. For individuals who are unable to attend, we will deliver the materials by mail after the event. A warm welcome to everyone!

The wind power boom that has taken over Finland brings a lot of wind turbines to western Finland. The construction of wind turbines will focus on the west, as the eastern border of the power plants will interfere with the Defense Forces to explore and offshore power plants are not currently under construction. See here in an article from the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation (YLE) where wind turbines are currently being built, where projects are progressing and where there are ready-made wind farms! 

In the future, consumers will be able to get used to the ever-increasing fluctuations in the price of electricity, according to a study conducted by Sitra. Significant changes are taking place in both electricity production and consumption. The most cost-effective is to generate electricity from onshore wind farms, so the amount of wind power will increase in the future as electricity consumption is estimated to nearly double by 2050. The study was carried out by modelers and consultants from the consulting companies Compass Lexecon and Enerdata, as well as researchers…
