The turbines will be located near the existing Summa wind park and in the vicinity of the port of Hamina. The four turbines are of the WinWinD 3 type, which is a new turbine with a rated power of 3 MW. The rotor diameter of the turbines will be 120 metres, which is one of the biggest sizes in the Finnish market today. The nacelles will be manufactured in WinWinD’s own plant in Hamina.

This contract shows that our new wind turbine, which is based on an integrated product solution, is very competitive also in the demanding conditions of Finland”, says Aarne Luukko, VP, Business Development, Finland.

“This deal is one of the key milestones in our product development, and has been made possible from the trust, confidence and support from our valued customer, Hamina Energy. We at WinWinD consider this deal with Hamina Energy, as very valuable and helps fortify and increase our market presence in Finland”, says Guru Vijendran, Managing Director, WinWinD.
