Axpo, which acquired the project rights in October 2023, has now
approved further investment in the project and plans to start
pre-construction work later this year.
The construction of the four wind turbines, each with an output
of 6.2 megawatts (MW) and a hub height of 134 meters, is set to
begin in late summer 2025. Contracts have already been signed with
turbine manufacturer Vestas. The wind farm, with a total capacity
of 24.8 MW, is expected to be commissioned in autumn 2025. Once
operational, it will produce around 70 gigawatt hours (GWh) of
renewable electricity annually, enough to meet the needs of
approximately 17,500 four-person households.
The project will be managed from Axpo's office in Vaasa, located
about 25 kilometers from the site. Through its Volkswind
subsidiary, Axpo has developed over 90 wind farms in Germany and
France, with a total installed capacity exceeding 1500 MW. In
France, Axpo is one of the leading companies in the development and
construction of wind farms.
