Åland needs to boost its economic growth and the development of the local business life. With the right approach, offshore wind power can make our society more robust in the
There is no public support system on Åland for offshore wind power, and no such system is being planned. As one of the companies hoping to plan and construct windparks,
Generally, a turbine in a land-based wind power station provides energy for around 35 years. With current technology, offshore wind power stations are expected to have a lifespan of 20–25
A large-scale wind power station supplies electricity at wind speeds ranging from 3.5 to 25 meters per second. On Åland, the wind mostly tends to fit between these values, especially
Up to 80 % of wind turbines can be recycled, and the recycling efficiency is on the rise due to demand, need, and requirements. More and more countries plan to
Our society is in great need of more green energy, partly because of electrification and partly because we want to avoid importing fossil energy and energy from conflict zones. Future
Even if dismantling wind turbines and restoring the natural surroundings is a task to be undertaken in the distant future, these are important topics and should be considered early on
Electricity prices are not directly dependent on the production of individual production sites. Rather, they are the result of many actors trading on the energy market, and the price is
To oversimplify a little, the areas suitable for offshore wind (OSW) have been defined through a process of elimination. We have assessed the Åland waters and eliminated as many areas
The first maritime spatial plan of Åland entered into force on March 22nd, 2021, and has been developed in accordance with the Water Act of the Åland Islands and with
Energy infrastructure must be continuously updated. The future is electrified and the current electricity grid must be developed and expanded. According to expert organization Sitra, Finland’s electricity demand will be
The latest 15MW wind turbine model from leading global producers can generate approximately 80 GWh each year. In comparison, 1 GWh is the average amount of electricity used by 5o
