Suomen Hyötytuuli Oy starts the building of the Annankangas wind farm in Raahe

Suomen Hyötytuuli Oy builds a wind farm of ten wind turbines at Annankangas in Raahe. The construction shall begin in this autumn, with the aim of commencing the energy production in autumn 2017. The project is developed in cooperation with Metsähallitus.
The overall height of the around 3.5 MW wind turbines is 210 meters. The contract negotiations on turbines, main contracting and delivery of electric stations are on the final straight.
‘This is already our third wind farm in Raahe. After completion of Annankangas and the Tahkoluoto offshore wind farm, our production capacity increases to nearly 150 MW,’ says Toni Sulameri, Managing Director for Suomen Hyötytuuli Oy.
‘The recently completed Nikkarinkaarto wind farm in Raahe was constructed within a year, according to schedule and budget,’ says Harri Suutari, Project Manager for Suomen Hyötytuuli Oy, responsible for the Annankangas wind farm project.
