Wind power is sustainable and renewable energy<\/h2>\n

Wind energy farms produce renewable electricity from wind, which helps to break away from fossil fuel energy production methods such as coal, natural gas, and peat. At the same time, wind power production increases Finland\u2019s energy self-sufficiency. <\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, renewable wind energy is the answer to climate change, energy transition and the green transition of society.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Heating production is electrifying rapidly. Onshore and offshore wind turbine farms enable heating production through various heat pumps and energy recycling and storage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wind energy plant projects – from planning to execution<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\t \t\t<\/div>\n\t \t\t\t\t

At Sweco, we offer a comprehensive service package for wind energy plant projects. Our experts ensure that wind energy plants are located<\/a>, permitted<\/a>, designed, and constructed <\/a>correctly and responsibly, from both human and environmental perspectives. We serve energy and SPVs, municipalities, and property owners in various business areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Our consultants specializing in wind power play a key role in project initiation. Collaboration often begins in the preliminary study phase, where we focus on wind power strategies, business models, and technology monitoring. Our experts in regional and project development, as well as in environmental consulting<\/a>, guide the entire project team in the right direction throughout the project, ensuring smooth wind power production, transmission, utilization, and storage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Wind turbine farms: geotechnical permits, investigations, and reports<\/h2>\n

Comprehensive data and various studies, assessments and surveys<\/a> are required for all wind turbine farm projects. We carry out all the necessary surveys and statutory procedures for wind turbine farms, such as <\/span>environmental impact assessments<\/span><\/a>\u202f and component master plans. We help manage the entire permitting process<\/a> to ensure the project is completed in good spirits and on schedule.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Environmental reports<\/h2>\n

Environmental assessments<\/span><\/a> for wind energy farms encompass a range of factors, including their impact on nature. These evaluations consider the effects of wind turbines on the landscape and cultural heritage, as well as on living conditions, including issues such as noise and shadows. They also examine potential impacts on\u00a0<\/span> water systems<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>transportation<\/span><\/a>, and the local flora and fauna. Special attention is paid to the presence of breeding and migratory birds, flying squirrels, bats, and the marine ecosystem in the context of <\/span>offshore wind farms.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Geospatial and soil surveys<\/h2>\n

Prior to wind turbine design, it is required to conduct <\/span>geospatial and soil surveys.<\/span><\/a> These surveys serve as the foundation for evaluating various design options and determining the most efficient approaches. We always determine on a case-by-case basis what kind of loads the wind turbine foundations will be subject to and how they can be managed with infrastructure as well as geotechnical and <\/span>structural design<\/span><\/a>. Additionally, we carry out essential <\/span>stormwater surveys<\/span><\/a> as part of our comprehensive assessment process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Investment surveys<\/h2>\n

At the beginning of a wind energy farm project, it is important to evaluate the economic conditions. Energy investment studies and comparative analyses ensure the economic viability of the wind energy farm. Important preliminary surveys also include production forecasts and appropriate sizing of wind turbine capacities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wind energy farm design and implementation<\/h2>\n

Wind energy farm projects require multidisciplinary design expertise and coordination of different technical fields. That is why we offer all wind energy farm designers and supervisors under the same roof. This ensures that the completed wind turbine farm operates optimally and produces energy with the best possible efficiency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In many wind energy farm projects, we actively assess various options for wind power storage. Energy can be efficiently stored using methods like soil or rock storage, sand storage, water reservoirs, or integration with a district heating network. Additionally, surplus wind energy can be harnessed for the eco-friendly production of green hydrogen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the construction phase, our experts play a vital role in monitoring and ensuring quality, including <\/span>rigorous testing and research on concrete structures.<\/span><\/a> Following the commissioning stage, our services extend to warranty inspections, maintenance planning, and ongoing production monitoring to optimize the farm’s performance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
