Lundin Petroleum has signed a purchase agreement with OX2 for 100% of 132 MW Metsälamminkangas wind farm in northern Finland.
The Metsälamminkangas wind farm, comprising 24 wind turbines, will be constructed in the municipality of Vaala, North Ostrobothnia. OX2 has for the first time chosen GE Renewable Energy as the supplier of the turbines. The site of the farm is renowned for its favorable wind location with an average wind speed of approx. 7.2 m/sec at the turbines’ hub height.
The project rights for Metsälamminkangas were acquired by OX2 in 2019 and the project has since then been optimized for the construction phase. OX2 is constructing the wind farm as an EPC contract and will also be entrusted with responsibility for the technical and commercial management of the farm. The facility is planned to be commissioned for Lundin Petroleum in December 2021 and is expected to produce approximately 400 GWh per year.
