Articles and insights
Perspectives on the energy transition.
In this section, we share articles, case studies, and insights from across OX2. From renewable energy trends to lessons from our projects, our aim is to contribute to the conversation and share what we’re learning as we help accelerate the shift to sustainable energy.
As Director of Power Markets and PPA at OX2, Olli Hagqvist structures and negotiates long-term power agreements with hyperscalers and other major corporates. As demand for renewable energy grows, these large companies are increasingly turning to long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to secure reliable, clean electricity.
In less than ten years, batteries will become the second largest source of dispatchable energy after hydropower, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The development of grid-scale battery storage is going much faster than most realize.
Meet Lars Haavik, OX2’s new Head of PPA (Power Purchase Agreements) Origination. With over a decade of experience in PPA origination, he joins to lead and grow a business area that’s expanding as we increasingly own projects and sell electricity as an independent power producer.
Efforts to reverse biodiversity loss and increase climate resilience have led to OX2 focusing on practical action across multiple project sites: reviewing the location, dimension and design of culverts.
Construction of the Niinimäki Wind Farm in Pieksämäki, Finland, began in 2022, with turbine assembly starting at the end of September 2023. All turbines have now reached pre-assembly height, and the first five have been erected to their full height of 250 meters. Once complete, the wind farm will feature 22 turbines with a total capacity of more than 145 megawatts.
In connection with the development of onshore wind farms, OX2 has taken the initiative to restore and protect forest ecosystems.
With construction now underway at OX2's first project in Australia, the SEC Renewable Energy Park - Horsham, health and safety is a top priority. Prabakar Kumar, or PK, joined OX2 as HSE Manager in September 2024. He brings valuable experience to the project and to the team, most recently from a similar role at Vestas.
This film shows the different stages in the construction of an onshore wind farm – from planning and groundwork to fully installed turbines generating electricity.
Catherine Way joined OX2 Australia as Director of Development in March 2024. She and the Australian team have secured an onshore wind project in Western Australia, with a planned capacity of up to 1 GW. In this interview, she discusses what makes Western Australia an attractive location, project specifics, and what’s next for OX2’s wind expansion in Australia.
