Wind power
Suomen Hyötytuuli wind farms
Suomen Hyötytuuli has nine wind farms in operation, one in test use and several wind energy projects under development.
Impact on local economies
Wind energy brings significant economic benefits to local communities.
- We pay real estate tax to the cities and towns where our wind farms are located.
- Landowners receive compensation for letting their land for wind energy use. The area remains open for recreation and the roads built for wind energy construction and maintenance benefit landowners in their forest management.
- Our wind farms create jobs in the cities and towns where they are built and the surrounding areas, for example, in logistics, construction, operation and maintenance.
Technological leadership
Suomen Hyötytuuli employs and supports new technological solutions to produce stable, reliable and cost-efficient energy production. For example, we developed a gravity-based foundation suitable for offshore wind turbines in the Baltic Sea. For the Tahkoluoto offshore wind farm we developed a system which uses radar technology and tracks bird populations moving in the area, and helps to minimize the wind turbines’ impacts on birdlife.
