Neoen has signed a new power purchase agreement (PPA) for at least 30 MW of green energy in Finland. The PPA was awarded as a result of the competitive tender run by Equinix to provide renewable energy for the firm’s locations in Finland.

Under the 10-year agreement, Equinix will purchase 85% of the green energy and guarantees of origin to be produced by the 35 MW Björkliden onshore wind farm in Finland. Located in the municipality of Närpes, in the western region of Ostrobothnia, the wind farm will have seven wind turbines.

Neoen owns an 80% stake in the project, the remaining 20% being owned by Prokon, who co-developed the wind farm with Neoen. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2023, with commissioning to follow in 2024.
