Its scope and nature vary according to its purpose. A wind energy project can still be entirely on paper or already well into the implementation phase. It is not a physical entity but often a multi-phase project as a whole.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A wind farm refers to the actual constructed entity: a group of wind power plants placed close to each other and operating through a common electricity grid connection. A wind farm can be built on land or at sea, and its size varies from a few turbines to several dozen. It is the visible end result of a wind energy project: what concretely materializes when the project is completed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A wind power plant refers to an individual electricity production unit, i.e., one wind turbine. It includes the tower, rotor, generator, and other technology that converts wind kinetic energy into electricity. A wind farm consists of several wind power plants, but sometimes a single turbine can be its own independent project, particularly for smaller operators or research institutes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Planned wind power plants in Finland<\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Currently, many wind energy projects are in various stages of planning in Finland, from early preliminary studies onward.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At the beginning of 2025, the planned capacity for onshore wind energy was already over 61,600 megawatts (MW) and offshore wind energy over 46,100 MW.
