About the project
The Korkeakangas wind farm is located in the municipality of Karstula, Finland. The wind farm consists of 9 wind turbines with a maximum height of 230 meters and total capacity of 45 MW. The estimated annual production of the wind farm is 140 GWh which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 28,000 households (5,000 kWh/household).
The investment decision to construct the Korkeakangas wind farm was made in January 2020. The construction work began in Spring 2020 and was completed in 2022. The wind farm was handed over to Aquila Capital, a sustainable investment management and asset development company, in June 2022. OX2 is responsible for the technical and commercial management of the wind farm.
More information about the project and the project contacts can be found on the Finnish site in Finnish and in Swedish.

Sustainability
Sustainability
OX2 and our suppliers are guests in the local communities. For us, is extremely important to create dialogue with and show respect for the people who live and work in the local area. This includes transparent communication, creating local jobs, business sector development or financial grants through community funds or property tax, depending on the market and conditions in the area.
The expansion of renewable energy should not come at the expense of nature and it is not enough for us to mitigate climate change. We have long worked to minimize our negative impact on nature and are now taking decisive action towards our goal of nature-positive wind and solar farms by 2030.
Our projects are sustainable by design, from early planning to construction and management.
Accessibility
Accessibility
It is possible to hike, hunt, or pick berries and mushrooms in the wind farm area, with respect to the area's warning signs and prevailing weather conditions. Caution should be observed in certain weather conditions. It is unsafe to be near the wind turbines during thunderstorms and when there is a risk of ice or snow falling from the wind turbines. Therefore, please pay attention to the local weather conditions. Ice accumulation on wind turbines occurs at temperatures just above 0 °C and colder, especially during snowfall or when the turbine is covered with fog or clouds. A safety distance of at least 350 m should be maintained to each wind turbine during these conditions.
