Ilmatar has started power generation from the 370 MW Alajarvi hybrid wind project located in Western Finland. The wind park operates eight turbines that offer a combined, rated capacity of 48 MW. The company aims to achieve its full renewable energy production capacity of 220 MW by the end of the year, which will be achieved via the commissioning of 36 additional wind turbines.
Ilmatar has already planned the future development of the hybrid wind farm. The company is preparing to install a 150 MWp solar farm and a complimentary 25 MW battery storage unit. The new additions are set to supplement the wind turbines that are already in operation. Upon the completion of the expansion, the hybrid farm will be able to generate a total rated capacity of 370 MW, ensuring a consistent source of clean energy for consumers.
The project is expected to make a significant contribution towards reducing the carbon footprint of the region. Ilmatar's move towards clean energy production is also in line with global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on non-renewable energy sources.
