Its scope and nature vary depending on the intended use. A wind power 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A wind farm, on the other hand, refers to an actual built entity: a group of wind power plants located close to each other and operating through a common electrical grid connection. A wind farm can be built on land or sea and its size varies from a few turbines to several dozen. It is the visible outcome of the wind power project: the tangible result when the project is realized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A wind power plant refers to a single electricity production unit, i.e., one wind turbine. It includes the tower, rotor, generator, and other technology that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity. A wind farm consists of several wind power plants, but sometimes a single turbine can be its own independent project, especially in the context of smaller operators or research institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Planned wind power plants in Finland<\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">There are currently a large number of wind power projects in various development stages, from early feasibility studies onwards, being planned in Finland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At the beginning of 2025, the planned capacity of onshore wind power was already over 61,600 megawatts (MW) and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweco.fi\/en\/offshore-wind-power\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">offshore wind power<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> over 46,100 MW. This means a total potential increase of over 107,700 MW in Finland&#8217;s wind power capacity, which would signify a multiplication of the current production. However, not all planned wind power plants are likely to advance to implementation.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Planned\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> wind power plants in Finland<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> offer significant opportunities not only for increasing energy production but also for regional development, employment, and achieving emission targets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Planning a wind farm with Sweco<\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Planning a wind farm is a multifaceted process that requires technical, environmental, and social expertise.
