Kuusivuoma is a permitting phase wind farm

Kuusivuoma wind farm project is at permitting phase and located in Finland in the municipality of Ylitornio, region of Lapland. The idea for the project came from local landowners. The municipality of Ylitornio has shown a positive attitude for wind power locally by accepting the Land Use Plan Initiative. Tentatively, a maximum of wind farm with 31 wind turbines is planned for the area. Planned electric transmission lines located in the municipalities of Ylitornio and Tornio and in the cities of Tornio and Rovaniemi.  Connection to main grid is planned to new Louepalo substation.

Kuusivuoma wind farm is 100% owned by the funds managed by Taaleri Energia.

The team manages a 9.3 GW wind, solar and battery storage portfolio in Europe and the US. The windfarm is being developed by Etha, a leading Finnish project developer and wind energy expert.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and land use planning have been started. The surveys in the ground area have been started 2024 and will continue further in 2025. Before summer 2025 EIA program and Program for Participation and Evaluation will be on the public display. After EIA program and Program for Participation and Evaluation will be prepared EIA report and Land use plan draft which will be on the public display in the early 2026. After those is being prepared Land use plan proposal which will be on the public display end of the year 2026. Final Land Use Plan approval could be in early 2027.
