The wind facility, which is expected to become operational in the early 2030s, is estimated to require an investment of €2-3bn.

The Korsnäs wind farm will generate renewable energy that is equivalent to the consumption of over two million apartment homes annually or the consumption of around 250,000 electricity-heated individual houses annually in the country.  

Vattenfall has been chosen in the first of several international offshore wind tenders to be undertaken by Metsähallitus.

Metsähallitus undertakes the management of the land and water areas of the Finnish state.
