Start of construction for Finnish wind farm Konttisuo

- Energiequelle GmbH to install seven Nordex N149/4.0-4.5 turbines in Finland

.


Helsinki/Konttisuo (renewablepress) - Construction works on Energiequelle GmbH's second project in Finland will commence this week. The Konttisuo wind farm, which is being built 20 kilometers south-east of the municipality of Soini on the border between South Ostrobothnia and Central Finland, comprises seven Nordex turbines with a total capacity of 29.96 MW.

Energiequelle has contracted Infra Builders Oy to construct the roads, foundations, park cabling and the associated transformer station. Infra Builders Oy will now start with the road construction and then continues with the construction of the first foundations.

The N149/4.0-4.5 turbines are delivered as cold climate version and will be equipped with an anti-icing. The energy-efficient heating of this system prevents ice from accumulating on the rotor blades and turbines. There is no need to stop the turbines for de-icing purposes, which has a very positive effect on the yield.

The order also includes a premium service contract for a period of 25 years. The park is scheduled to be commissioned in December 2021.

"Throughout the entire development phase, the Konttisuo project has received a lot of encouragement and support from the local community and the municiplaity. We would like to thank them for this and reassure that Energiequelle is a reliable partner for the people in the region. The experience we have gained with the Konttisuo project will be put to good use in the development of other projects in the region, such as our Kimpilamminkangas project," says Nils Borstelmann, Country Manager Energiequelle Finland.

After Paltusmäki (five turbines), Konttisuo is the second project Energiequelle is implementing in Finland since entering the market in 2016. The team now has six employees, and further projects with a total capacity of over 800 MW are in the pipeline.
