Wind power at three telecommunications base stations in Finland

3 FAQs about Wind power at three telecommunications base stations in Finland

Will Finnish wind power reach a record level in 2022?

A promising growth in green electricity supply The Finnish Wind Energy Association estimates that, in Finland, wind power construction will continue to grow strongly in the coming years but that it will not quite reach the record level of 2022 in the next three years. Even so, new wind power in Finland is forecasted to reach 1,500 MW per year.

How do offshore wind farms transmit power to a converter station?

The offshore wind farms will transmit their power to a converter station on the coast in direct current. In March 2023, Hitachi Energy has secured a landmark offshore wind agreement with TenneT for these transmission links. Hitachi Energy is a technology pioneer and market leader in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission.

Are large-scale offshore wind farms a good match?

Large-scale offshore wind farms are a good match as both benefit from each other. In high winds, electricity can be stored as hydrogen, further improving the profitability of wind power generation.” concludes Norbert Beatrix, commenting on the near future challenges and opportunities for the industry.
