Ilmatar Energy and its partner Kansai Electric Power Co Inc have reached a final investment decision for the Alajärvi wind farm project in Central Finland.

The wind project will encompass 36 wind turbines with a total nominal capacity of 216 MW. The construction is due to start in October 2021 while commercial operations are targeted to begin at the end of 2023. Once operational, the Alajärvi wind farm will be a significant wind power asset in the Nord Pool area and one of the largest unsubsidized wind farms in Europe.

Ilmatar Energy also constructs three other onshore wind farm sites in Finland and prepares several other large-scale wind power projects across Finland. For two onshore wind projects under construction in Finland, Voimamylly (25.8MW) and Rasakangas (48.0MW), Ilmatar intends to remain the sole owner of the projects.
