Koirivaara

A solar power plant with an installed PV capacity of approximately 40 MWp is planned for a decommissioned peat production area in Koirivaara, Tohmajärvi. In addition, a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of approximately 10 MW is planned as part of the project. The objective of the project is to promote the deployment of renewable energy in Eastern Finland and to repurpose former peat production areas for renewable solar energy generation.

The project’s contractor and construction supervision have been tendered. The investment decision is currently being prepared to enable the start of construction. Construction can begin at the earliest in early 2027. In that case, the power plant would be completed by summer 2028.
