Kuusivuoma is a wind farm project in the permitting phase
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 the local landowners. The municipality ofYlitornio has shown a positive attitude for wind power in the muncipality by accepting the Land Use Plan Initiative during the spring 2023. After the latest changes, a wind farm with a maximum of 30 wind turbines is planned for the area. According to the plan, the power lines related to the project will be located in the areas of Ylitornio and Tervola municipalities and the city of Tornio. Connection to the main grid is planned at the new Louepalo substation.
Kuusivuoma wind farm is 100% owned by the funds managed by Taaleri Energia. Taaleri Energia is a Finnish renewable energy fund manager with one of the largest dedicated renewables investment teams in Europe. The team manages a 9.3 GW wind, solar and battery storage portfolio in Europe and the US. The wind farm is being developed by Etha, a leading Finnish project developer and wind energy expert.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and land use planning of the area have been initiated. The EIA program and the Program for Participation and Evaluation have been available for public viewing in August–September 2025. The nature studies conducted in the area so far have been completed and the project has been developed following the statements and opinions received from the EIA program.
After the EIA program and Program for Participation and Evaluation, the EIA report and land use plan draft will be prepared. Based on the statements received on the EIA program, field surveys in the area will continue in 2026. Therefore, the EIA report and land use plan draft can be made available for public viewing at the earliest at the end of 2026. After this, land use plan proposal will be prepared and is intended to be made available for public viewing in 2027. The final approval of the land use plan is targeted for early 2028.
This operation benefits from support from the European Union under the InvestEU Fund.
