Alight has increased its solar energy assets in Finland by acquiring two large-scale projects from Finnish developer 3Flash, adding more than 200MW of planned solar capacity and battery storage.
With the acquisition, Alight’s total pipeline in the country has increased to more than 1GW.
The projects are situated in eastern Finland, an area characterised by relatively low local power production and reduced grid congestion.
The initial project is expected to have a capacity of roughly 75MW and is targeted for grid connection by 2028, taking advantage of its closeness to the Finnish transmission system operator Fingrid's network.
Approval has also been granted to construct a 30MW battery energy storage system (BESS) at this location.
The second project, anticipated to produce approximately 150MW, plans to connect to the grid via a new substation expansion by Fingrid, expected to be completed around 2030.
This strategy aims to provide an efficient and cost-effective link to the national grid.
Alight and 3Flash will continue to jointly develop these projects until they reach readiness for construction.
3Flash CEO Miko Huomo said: “We are very pleased to expand our cooperation with Alight through these projects. Together we are accelerating the build-out of grid-friendly solar and storage solutions in Finland.”
The new projects extend the ongoing collaboration between Alight and 3Flash in Loviisa in southern Finland, where they are jointly developing a large-scale solar park with a capacity of approximately 120MW, alongside a 45MW BESS.
The Loviisa initiative recently secured a multi-million-euro grant from the European Commission’s Innovation Fund and emphasises agrivoltaics by integrating solar power production with agricultural land use via AI-enhanced tracking technology.
In addition to these developments, Alight is set to launch its first Finnish solar park this summer in Eurajoki, with a capacity of 100MW.
The company’s Finnish projects span various stages from initial development to construction readiness across different regions.
These solar projects are facilitated by long-term power purchase agreements, under which Alight constructs, owns and operates the solar facilities.
These agreements allow industrial buyers to purchase electricity at a consistent, low price, supporting the addition of renewable energy to the grid and ensuring stable energy costs for the purchasers.
Alight CEO Warren Campbell said: “By adding local solar and storage, we strengthen energy self-sufficiency and increase grid resilience in eastern Finland. With its strong solar conditions and available grid capacity, the region is an ideal location for new large-scale projects.”
In December 2025, Alight commissioned the Lidsø solar park in Denmark, its first operational asset in the Danish market.
