OX2 has acquired the 400MW Lestijärvi onshore wind project from YIT, located in Lestijärvi municipality, in Central Ostrobothnia, Finland.

The project consists of 72 wind turbines with a maximum total height of 240m. The project also consists of the construction of a new electricity substation and 55 km of 400 kV power line for electricity transmission. The construction is expected to start by 2022. 

The plans and building permits of the subsidy-free project are legally in force.

Once operational, the Lestijärvi wind farm is expected to generate about 1.4 TWh annually, equivalent to around 2% of the total electricity production in the country.
