Finnish Wind Power Association is a member of the national hydrogen cluster
Hydrogen and wind power fit extremely well together. Wind power is the cheapest and fastest way to increase renewable electricity and electricity production that meets the criteria for green hydrogen in Finland. A completely emission-free way to produce hydrogen is the electrolysis of water, in which water molecules are broken down into hydrogen and oxygen […]

Finnish wind power project portfolio updated: A record amount of wind power is planned in Finland
According to FWPAs’ wind power project list a record number of new wind power projects are planned in Finland. The planned 18,000 MW (3,400 wind turbines) in production would cover more than 71 percent of current electricity consumption. Wind power can thus respond well to the increase in electricity consumption due to the fight against climate change and the […]
