Axpo Group’s Post

🌬️ Good news for the wind division in Finland: Axpo Group gives investment green light for Vörå wind farm. Axpo's wind team in Finland moves forward with the construction of the Lålax wind farm in Finland’s Vörå municipality. This marks a significant step in expanding wind energy in Finland and underscores Axpo Group commitment to sustainable energy solutions in the region. 🌍 Sustainable energy production We plan to start the preparatory construction measures as early as this autumn. In late summer 2025, the installation of the four Vestas V162-6.2MW wind turbines, each with an output of 6.2 MW and a hub height of 134 meters, will follow. Axpo plans to commission the wind farm with a total capacity of 24.8 megawatts in autumn 2025. After completion, the wind farm will produce around 70,000,000 kilowatt hours of renewable electricity per year, which corresponds to the electricity needs of around 17,500 four-person households.  🏢 Local impact and management Located just 25 kilometers from Axpo's Vaasa office, the project will be managed closely to ensure efficient development and construction overview. Joakim Ingves, Axpo’s Head of Wind Activities in Finland, highlighted the strategic advantages of the location, emphasizing job creation and local economic benefits. The project aligns with Finland's ambitious climate goals, aiming for climate neutrality by 2035. ♻️ Advancing renewable energy strategies This initiative reinforces Axpo’s commitment to expanding its wind power activities across Europe, complementing its substantial portfolio developed through Volkswind in Germany and France. With over 90 wind farms and 1500 MW of installed capacity, Axpo continues to lead in renewable energy development, supporting the transition to a sustainable energy future. #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #EnergyTransition

CorPower Ocean will contribute in a policy session during EU Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels (EUSEW 2024) exploring actions to reinforce Europe's role in renewables development and manufacturing. Senior Project Manager Eunice Silva joins the panel “Renewables Made in Europe: Competitiveness of wind, solar and ocean energy”, co-organised by WindEurope, SolarPower Europe and Ocean Energy Europe. Offshore renewables are poised to become a fundamental pillar of the energy transition and energy security in the EU. By 2050, they can provide more than 300 GW or 20% of the electricity mix.  Ocean energy will play an important role offering highly predictable and consistent renewable electricity. Eunice will explain more about the mission to develop a new sustainable industry across Europe generating 500,000 qualified jobs – using local supply chains, ports and small vessels, avoiding supply chain constraints. The event comes shortly after CorPower Ocean contributed to a new ‘Guide for Decision Makers’ through the Working Group on Offshore Renewable Energies, established under the Clean Energy Industry Forum (CEIF) by the European Commission. The group, which also includes wind sector operators Vestas and Siemens Energy among others, aims to increase understanding on supply chains, while identifying challenges and potential implementation bottlenecks for reaching 2030 and 2050 offshore renewable targets.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗼 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗲 - 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘆 - Global Wind Day is an important event celebrated to encourage investments in renewable energy and, specifically, wind energy. We would like to highlight the significance of wind energy generation and its potential to revolutionize energy generation, distribution, and consumption. Wind energy stands out for its sustainability profile, associated with clean energy, and its ability to boost the global economy and create new jobs. Cabeolica is a leader in renewable energy in Cape Verde, with its four wind farms in Santiago, São Vicente, Sal, and Boa Vista. Our operations represent about 18% of the electricity generated across the islands. Cabeolica’s expansion project starting in 2025, will increase the energy penetration rate by Cabeolica to the national grid to 30%, in addition to supporting the achievement of the country's energy transition goals. The power of wind will preserve the planet and build a better, more sustainable future. #Cabeolica #CleanEnergy #WindEnergy #EnergyTransition #WorldWindDay #WindDay

Axpo gives investment green light for Vörå wind farm Axpo's wind team in Finland moves forward with the construction of the Lålax wind farm in Finland’s Vörå municipality. This is in line with Axpo Group's commitment to sustainable energy solutions in the region. Axpo plans to commission four wind turbines, each boasting 6.2 MW of output and a hub height of 134 meters. The wind farm is expected to be fully operational by autumn 2025, generating approximately 70 GWh annually, equivalent to powering 17,500 households with renewable electricity. This project is located very close to the Axpo Vaasa office.

🍃 Renewable Power Capital (RPC) has begun the construction of two wind farms in Sweden, namely Storhojden and Knasjoberget, with a combined capacity of 230MW. This marks a notable progression in their larger project, a 553MW cluster of four wind farms in the Kramfors and Solleftea municipalities. 💨🌍 In collaboration with chemical producer LyondellBasell, RPC has secured two 10-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for the electricity generated by these farms. Moreover, RPC has procured 80 Nordex Group turbines, with installation set to begin in the spring of 2025, and both wind farms are slated to begin operations in early 2026. These projects are a significant leap forward in our pursuit to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and enhance sustainability. More importantly, they signify the growing collaboration between chemical industry giants and renewable energy ventures. These players are keen on redefining their energy sources and reducing their carbon footprints. 🌱💡 As governments and industries worldwide make a concerted effort to promote clean energy, this shift towards renewables demonstrates the potential to unlock sustainable, long-term business models. 🎯🌿 Keep up with these inspiring ventures and continue supporting the renewable energy revolution! 💪🌳 For full details: https://loom.ly/hwa8XB8 source: ReNews #renewableenergy #sustainability #cleanenergy #windpower #chemicalindustry #greenbusiness #sweden #RenewablePower #WindEnergy #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy
