Vestas secures 186MW wind turbine order in Finland

Danish wind turbine maker Vestas has secured an 186MW wind turbine contract from the Nordic energy company Ilmatar.

The order was placed by the Nordic company after reaching a final investment decision for the wind energy project, which is located in Pahkakoski in the municipality of Ii, 60km north-east of Oulu, Finland.

Ilmatar Energy CEO Juha-Pekka Weckström stated: “This is a big investment decision that we are very proud of. We know that more renewable energy is needed and despite the changing economic circumstances the green transition needs to continue.

“Pahkakoski wind farm is proof that Ilmatar continues to be courageous in its investment decisions to build renewable energy in the Nordics.

“We are very pleased to be co-operating with Vestas in this project. The co-operation between two Nordic companies, who want to enable a more sustainable future, has been smooth and effective.”
