Tuulivoimassa saavutettiin uusi virstanpylväs 29.1.2024, sillä tuulivoima saavutti ensimmäistä kertaa 6000 megawatin tehon. Samana aamuna rikottiin ennätyksiä myös tuulivoiman yhden tunnin keskituotantotehossa. Lue täältä Taloussanomien artikkelista lisää tuulivoiman saavutuksista!

Teimme yhdessä kuntalaisten kanssa 13.1.2024 tutustumisretken Mastokankaan tuulivoimapuistoon. Lähdimme klo 9.30 Varpajaisjärveltä ja noukimme matkan varrelta lisää osallistujia eri pysähdyksiltä. Matkan aikana osallistujat saivat alustusta päivän ohjelmasta. Perillä osallistujat pääsivät syventymään tuulivoimaloiden toimintaan. Tutustuimme tarkemmin tuulivoimalan sähköasemaan ja saimme kokemusperäistä tietoa tuulivoimaloiden äänistä, näkyvyydestä ja sähköntuotantoprosessista. Kävimme myös täydellä teholla toimivan tuulivoimalan maston sisällä, ja…

The year 2023 was the second busiest year for wind power construction in our history. During 2023, 212 new wind farms were built in Finland. The pace of construction in the coming years will increase our wind power capacity, as the development of new projects both on land and at sea is active. Read more about wind power construction now and in the future in the article of the Wind Power Association.

We are taking it easy this week to celebrate Christmas and wish everyone a nice holiday and a successful new year 2024! We are happy to answer various questions and inquiries about wind power by e-mail info@tuulikolmio.fi. Please note that there may be delays in response times due to holidays.

In Finland, a property tax model has been developed for wind turbines, which is admired in peer countries. For example, in Sweden, there is hope for a property tax model where the property tax is directed to the municipality's coffers. The Finnish model is seen as motivating municipalities to zone areas suitable for the placement of wind power. Read more about the real estate tax model here on the website of the Finnish Wind Energy Association.

Wind power is the second most desired form of energy production in Finland, according to a survey of the Energy industry. Up to 90 percent of Finns have a positive or neutral attitude towards wind power. Climate change is still perceived as a threat, and wind power is a strong means of reducing climate emissions. See here on the website of the Finnish Wind Power Association for more information about the survey.

Welcome to a coffee and a chat with the planner of the Savola Wind Power Park and the representatives of Tuulikolmio at Ravintola Savo Sydäme on Thursday 30 November 2023 between 14:00 and 19:00 at a time that suits you best (Kauppatie 31, Varpaisjärvi). The aim of the workshop is to have an informal discussion about questions related to the Savola wind farm, possible concerns related to the effects of the wind power project, and how these can best be taken into account in the planning of the wind farm. Up-to-date reports related to the project can be found...

In its article, Rural Future tells how the property tax paid for wind and solar power plants increased by more than 50% this year. In Finland, income is concentrated in the municipalities of North, Central and South Ostrobothnia.

There are many webinar recordings on the website of the Finnish Wind Power Association, where the costs of dismantling wind turbines and the carbon footprint of wind power are presented, among other things. You can watch the recordings directly from the website, come and have a look!

According to Caruna's press release, last winter's energy crisis and the clean transition have increased Finns' interest in batteries. Large industrial electricity storage facilities are becoming more common in Finland. For example, solar panels in shopping centers can store electricity using batteries. Read more about how batteries can be used in the storage of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Maaseudtu future article here.
