The 41 wind turbines of the 211 MW Piiparinmäki wind farm have been completed and are currently producing power for the Finnish electricity grid on the border between Pyhäntä and Kajaani.
The Piiparinmäki onshore wind farm is constructed by the energy company Ilmatar and is expected to be fully operational in early 2022. The estimated annual production of the Piiparinmäki wind farm is approximately 700 GWh, which is enough to cover the annual electricity consumption of about 36,000 detached houses in Finland.
Ilmatar is also launching two new wind power projects in Kainuu. Up to 50 wind turbines are planned to be built in the municipality of Paltamo, 19 of which would be built in the Hukkalansalo area and 31 in Takiankangas. The municipality of Paltamo has approved the zoning initiative for both sites, and the next step is to assess the impact of wind farms in a joint environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. Ilmatar is responsible for the construction and operation of wind farms.
