The Finnish National Board of Forestry plans to develop an offshore wind power park in Korsnäs, Ostrobothnia. AFRY has been chosen to deliver environmental impact assessment and prepare the local land-use master plan as well as technical engineering for the project. If implemented, energy production in the offshore wind power park in Kornäs would begin at the earliest in 2028.
The nominal power of Korsnäs offshore wind power park would be 1,400 MW, which corresponds to 54% of the total wind power capacity in Finland last year. The project will include 70-100 wind turbines, each with a nominal power of 12-30 megawatts.
The project is familiar to AFRY, as AFRY has worked as a consultant in pre-engineering for Korsnäs offshore wind power park. The initiative for zoning was accepted in the municipality of Korsnäs in 2020, and the environmental impact assessment began this spring.
