In addition to the environmental benefits, our wind farm projects bring significant economic benefits to the surrounding communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invest in long-term collaboration with landowners, and renting out land for wind power farms brings income from rents for landowners\u00a0during the entire life-span of a wind turbine. The area can still be used for recreation. The roads built for construction and maintenance of wind farms benefit land owners in their forest management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our wind power projects\u00a0create\u00a0jobs for the residents of the community and of the surrounding areas. The construction phase of a wind power project provides jobs for professionals working in logistics and construction and brings new clients for local enterprises. The operation and maintenance of wind turbine generators requires long-term staff that can reach the location quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We strive to become\u00a0a visible agent\u00a0in the wind farm communities. Wind power projects are often situated in small communities, which makes the significance of wind farms even greater. During all of their life-cycle the wind farms pay their communities real estate tax, the amount of which depends on the construction expenses of the wind farm, the capacity of the wind farm and the municipal tax rate. In addition, we invest in local hobbies for children and the young and offer a possibility to discover the wind power field as a career option.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\" my-4 sm:my-8 md:my-12 xl:my-20\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"FiftyFiftyImage relative flex justify-between bg-hyotytuuli-light flex-col-reverse lg:flex-row-reverse\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full aspect-[7\/5] lg:w-1\/2 p-4 sm:p-8 md:p-12  lg:px-12 lg:pt-14 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"Title flex flex-col justify-start mb-4 text-hyotytuuli-hilight3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRenewable \u2013 emission-free \u2013 local\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col text-hyotytuuli-hilight3 justify-center \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Wind power is renewable and local energy.

Wind power production varies daily according to the wind conditions, and therefore wind farms are built primarily in areas where the wind conditions are favourable.<\/p>\n<p>Suomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli actively utilises new technology in the wind power industry and supports research. We also do our own development work. For example, we developed and a new kind of earth-banked foundation for offshore wind turbine generators which makes use of the mass of the power station and the foundation. 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\u2019 impacts on birdlife.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" self-stretch justify-self-stretch w-full lg:w-1\/2 relative flex justify-center lg:justify-end\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"object-cover h-full w-full aspect-[7\/5]\"  srcset=\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/arenso.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Yleis5-Hyotytuuli-150x150.jpg 150w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/arenso.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Yleis5-Hyotytuuli-300x223.jpg 300w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/arenso.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Yleis5-Hyotytuuli.jpg 761w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/arenso.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Yleis5-Hyotytuuli.jpg 761w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/arenso.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Yleis5-Hyotytuuli.jpg 761w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    \"  src=\"https:\/\/arenso.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Yleis5-Hyotytuuli.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"FiftyFiftyImage relative flex justify-between bg-hyotytuuli-light flex-col-reverse lg:flex-row-reverse\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full aspect-[7\/5] lg:w-1\/2 p-4 sm:p-8 md:p-12  lg:px-12 lg:pt-14 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"Title flex flex-col justify-start mb-4 text-hyotytuuli-hilight3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCost-efficiency\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col text-hyotytuuli-hilight3 justify-center \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>External costs of wind power, i.e. extra costs to society and the environment, are the lowest of any energy forms.
