Inauguration of 24.8 MW Onshore Wind farm in Finland

Axpo inaugurated its first wind farm in Finland. Located in the municipality of Vörå, the Lålax facility was officially opened at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the presence of Finland’s Minister for European Affairs, Joakim Strand. The launch is a significant milestone in the expansion of renewable energy in the Ostrobothnia region and heralds further Axpo projects in the country.

The facility was technically commissioned in September 2025 following just eleven months of construction. Comprising four Vestas wind turbines, each with a rated capacity of 6.2 MW and a hub height of 134 metres, the wind farm has a total installed capacity of 24.8 MW. Its projected annual production of around 70 million kilowatt-hours could theoretically supply approximately 5,400 Finnish single-family homes with clean electricity. The generated electricity is fed into the transmission grid via a dedicated substation and marketed on the power exchange by Axpo Nordic.

Finland has committed by law to achieving climate neutrality by 2035 – one of the most ambitious targets worldwide. The project makes a substantial contribution to the local energy supply and the achievement of national climate goals. At the same time, is also strengthens the position of the Ostrobothnia region as an ideal location for renewable energy.
