New wind farm map has been published

The wind power map for 2022 has been published, containing updated information on all wind power farms in Finland.

Like last year, the map includes both existing wind turbines, as well as wind turbines currently under development. In addition, the map includes the Finnish Wind Atlas. Etha Wind has gathered the data from publicly available databases and municipal decisions. After the update, 74 new wind power projects with a combined capacity of more than 12 000 MW have been added to the map.

Wind power is growing rapidly in Finland, but there are still opportunities for further growth. According to the Wind Atlas, there are still areas with over 7 m/s wind speed where there are no planned wind farms. In addition, there are possibilities for more offshore wind farms.
