As of now, 20 projects are underway with unit sizes of 40-100 MW.

Finnish investment company in renewable resource, Korkia and also US-based designer of renewable energy, Solmar Consulting have actually joined hands for the establishment of solar capacity worth 1 GW in southerly, western as well as south-western Finland.

The two firms are currently complying for the growth of multiple solar parks, which remain in the works presently. The parks will certainly reach conclusion by 2025-- 2027 and also once concluded, they will certainly take care of the power demands of 52,600 electrically warmed single-family homes. As of now, 20 projects are underway with unit sizes of 40-100 MW.

"Finland remains in aching requirement of more renewable energy as well as solar power offers a quick way to the manufacturing of it. These projects will certainly assist enhance the amount of renewable resource in the summer season, specifically, as the manufacturing of wind energy is less during that time. At the same time, solar power production additionally helps Finland's power mix and allows the boosting of the nation's self-sufficiency in electricity," said Petri Haataja, Korkia's Vice President, Joint Venture Management.

At the same time, we have the ability to create steady profits for landowners when they rent their lands as well as let the lands end up being solar energy production sites. Teamwork with districts and also landowners is a fundamental part of our way of functioning," claimed Lauri Solin, accountable of Solmar's project development.

"Despite the changing seasons, it pays to generate solar power in Finland also, because the yearly solar irradiance in Southern Finland, for example, is at the very same degree as in Central Europe.
