(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 26. Swiss energy supplier Axpo has made the final investment decision to commence construction of the Lålax wind farm in Finland's Vörå municipality, Trend reports via the company.

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.

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.
