Suomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli Oy celebrated the world\u2019s first offshore wind farm\u2019s for icy conditions, Tahkoluoto offshore wind farm\u2019s take-over on Thursday 31 August. Tahkoluoto is Finland\u2019s first offshore wind farm built on offshore foundations.
\nSuomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli has made substantial investments in the development of offshore wind power, and in 2010 built Finland\u2019s first offshore turbine on offshore foundations outside Tahkoluoto in Pori. With the turbines that had their take-over yesterday and with offshore wind power\u2019s demonstration project, Suomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli and its partners have significantly increased offshore wind power knowledge in the Baltic Sea and enabled offshore energy production on an industrial scale.
\nThe preparation for the Tahkoluoto wind farm began when the pilot turbine was finished in 2010, so the project has been in development for a long time. Despite of the long development time, the ten turbines were installed more than a week ahead of the schedule. The wind farm take-over also took place ahead of time. Going all the way back to planning and authorization, the project\u2019s progress has been helped by the positive attitude of all the interest groups.
\n– All parties have done everything possible to make this project success. We thank all our partners, says Toni Sulameri, the Managing Director for Suomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli.
\nThe offshore wind power technology for these conditions took many development steps during the project. The cost-effective offshore construction demands proven business ecosystems, which was started to develop during the Tahkoluoto project.
\n– Suomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli has now a ready concept for planning and building offshore wind power on an industrial scale, says Tuomo Kantola, the chairman of the board for Suomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli.
\nThe project\u2019s main co-operation partners were: Siemens Gamesa (turbines), Technip Offshore Finland Oy (offshore foundations), ABB Oy Power Grids (substation), Pori Energia S\u00e4hk\u00f6verkot Oy (grid connection), Prysmian Finland Oy (offshore cable), Jan De Nul NV (marine operations), Finnish Sea Service Oy (offshore cable installation), and Blue Water Shipping Oy, Finland (port operations\/ logistics).
\nThe Ministry of Employment and the Economy granted an investment aid of MEUR 20 for the project to boost offshore wind power business and export in Finland. In addition to promoting renewable energy, the investment aid also aimed to gather information about the special characteristics of offshore wind power in Finland\u2019s conditions.
\nFuture of offshore wind power<\/strong>
\nStrong technological and commercial development in the North Sea, shows that the offshore wind power will be one of the ways to produce energy in the future. The most significant change affecting the cost of energy is the 15 MW\u2019s turbines coming to the market.
\nConditions for offshore wind power in Finland differ from those in the North Sea. A sea that freezes, a shallow coastline, a hard seafloor, less wind and wind farms that are located near the coastline are different from the conditions in the North Sea and demand different kind of technology. In offshore wind, it is also possible to increase the domestic content in the future.
\n– When operating in the global wind power market, developing technological solutions for arctic conditions can bring export possibilities for Finnish project and technology business. Suomen Hy\u00f6tytuuli has an interest in offshore wind power development also in the future. The current situation in energy business makes it hard to make any investments. Political decisions such as the plans to increase real estate taxation have an impact on risk-taking and developing in particular, says Tuomo Kantola.
