By GlobalDataThe PPAs are understood to be Statkraft’s first transactions with Aquila Capital in Finland.
The two wind facilities are currently under construction and expected to be completed later this year and early next year respectively.
Once completed, they will have a total installed capacity of 111.6MW and produce more than 350GWh of wind energy a year.
Aquila Capital Nordics Power Markets director Lars Haavik said: “We are very pleased to have signed these PPAs with our long-standing strategic partner Statkraft.
“This agreement will allow us to continue the expansion of renewables in Finland, which supports our ambition to drive the energy transition forward.”
In June, Statkraft began commercial operations at the first unit of its floating solar project at the Banja reservoir in Albania, together with solar power company Ocean Sun.
Covering almost 4,000m², the first unit features 1,536 solar panels with 0.5MWp of installed capacity.
Each unit consists of a floating ring and a thin membrane. The facility is expected to contribute to the country’s ‘renewable energy journey’.
Statkraft also operates the 72MW Banja hydropower plant at the reservoir.
