Vestas has strengthened its presence in the Nordic wind energy market by announcing new orders totaling 277 MW in Finland as part of its fourth-quarter order intake. The projects have been secured from renewable energy developer OX2 AB and underscore growing investment momentum in large-scale onshore wind power across the region.
The orders cover three separate wind projects in Finland’s Northern and Central Europe region. The largest of the three is the 124 MW Kannisto project, which will be equipped with 20 V162-6.2 MW turbines. Vestas will also deliver turbines for the 108 MW Korkeamaa project, consisting of 15 V162-6.4 MW turbines and two V162-6.2 MW turbines. In addition, the 45 MW Salo-Ylikoski project will feature seven V162-6.4 MW turbines. Together, the projects highlight strong demand for Vestas’ V162 turbine platform, which is designed to maximize energy yield in low to medium wind conditions typical of parts of Finland.
All three projects include long-term 25-year Active Output Management 5000 service agreements, reinforcing Vestas’ strategy of combining turbine sales with lifecycle service contracts. These agreements are aimed at ensuring optimized performance, high availability, and predictable operational outcomes for customers over the full life of the wind farms.
Delivery for the projects is planned to begin in the second quarter of 2027, with commissioning activities starting in the second and third quarters of 2027, depending on the site. The coordinated timelines indicate a phased build-out that aligns manufacturing, logistics, and installation activities while supporting Finland’s renewable energy targets. The new orders reflect OX2 AB’s continued expansion in the Finnish wind market and Vestas’ role as a key technology and service partner. As Finland accelerates its transition toward clean energy, these projects are expected to contribute significantly to increased renewable power generation, grid stability, and long-term energy security in the country.
