Construction will begin in 2025, and it is expected to be commissioned by 2028.

VSB Group CEO Dr Felix Grolman stated: “Combining solar and wind energy in hybrid projects is an absolutely vital technology if we are to achieve a comprehensive energy transition.

“At well over €500m, the level of investment in this project is staggering. We are proud of our 100 % track record in Finland and look forward to completing another successful project.”
