Around 200 wind turbines are planned in the Ostrobothnia region
Vaasa, 7 December 2023. The Finnish subsidiarysubsidiary of Energiequelle has opened a new office on the west coast of Finland. The office complements the head office in Helsinki and already employs four people in the areas of project development, property security and construction. Other positions are currently being advertised.
Tore Regnell, Location Manager of the Energiequelle office in Vaasa, is convinced by the location: “The proximity to the Vaasa University campus offers a major advantage, as this region has a wealth of experience and training opportunities in the energy sector. As a result, there is a large pool of potential employees in the region, which is of great interest to us as a growing company.” The city of Vaasa has also been heavily involved in the renewable energy market in recent years, for example with the annual Vaasa EnergyWeek in March, which brings together all players in the energy sector in Finland and beyond.
Even before the opening of the new office, Energiequelle had already strengthened its presence in the Ostrobothnia region with various wind farm projects. The company currently has a pipeline of around 200 wind turbines in various stages of development. But Nils Borstelmann, Managing Director of Energiequelle Oy in Finland, is not only looking forward to enormous growth here: “Since entering the market in 2016, we have already connected four wind farms to the grid, and the fifth farm (Lumivaara) is expected to be completed by the end of the year in the municipality of Hyrynsalmi in eastern Finland. The sixth farm (Mikonkeidas) is currently being built on the west coast in Kristiinankaupunki and we are also making good progress in solar energy.”
In total, Energiequelle has planned around 2,500 MW of renewable energy projects throughout Finland. With its location in Vaasa, Energiequelle currently has 24 locations in Germany, France, Finland and Poland. Further market entries and location openings are imminent in the next few months.
