Ylivieska Pajukoski is the third project for Vestas announced this year that utilises the V126-3.3MW turbine and large diameter steel towers in Finland.

Reconcept managing director Karsten Reetz said: "We are proud to be the initiator of the Ylivieska Pajukoski wind farm project, and have benefitted immeasurably from our Finnish project partner TM Voima’s and Vestas’ comprehensive know-how.

"The Finnish state has created an investment-friendly system to support renewable energy, which makes investments such as this project attractive for Finnish as well as foreign investors. We’re already planning our next wind power project in Finland."

Vestas Northern Europe president Klaus Steen Mortensen said: "Vestas looks forward to working closely with Reconcept GmbH to build and service their first wind power project in Finland.

"Finland is an important market for Vestas and an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investors."
