About the project
The Pohjasuo solar power project is located in the municipality of Mikkeli Etelä-Savo region, Finland.
The planned capacity of the project is 80 MW. Once completed, the annual energy production of the solar farm is estimated to be approximately 77,5 GWh, which corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of almost 15,000 households (5,000 KWh per household).
What's next?
A start has been made on the technical design of the project. An environmental survey of the area of influence of the project will be prepared in 2023 and 2024 to thoroughly study the impacts of the project on the environment. If needed, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) will also be carried out in the project. The Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY Centre) is responsible for the EIA needs assessment.
The aim is to have the investment decision to build the project by the end of 2026 and for construction work to begin in the same year. The solar power farm is estimated to start operating in 2029.

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.
