Powering Our Finnish Information Pump Amongst Swedish Air Current Energy

What practise a Swedish air current farm developer, a High German insurance fellowship in addition to Google’s Finnish information pump accept inward common? As of today, a lot. We’ve simply inked agreements alongside O2 in addition to Allianz to provide our Finnish information pump alongside renewable unloosen energy for the side yesteryear side 10 years—our 4th long-term understanding to ability our information centers alongside renewable unloosen energy worldwide, in addition to our commencement inward Europe.


Here’s how it works: O2, the air current farm developer, has obtained planning blessing to build a novel 72MW air current farm at Maevaara, inward Övertorneå in addition to Pajala municipality inward northern Sweden, using highly efficient 3MW air current turbines. We’ve committed to buying the entire output of that air current farm for 10 years hence that nosotros tin mail away ability our Finnish information pump alongside renewable energy. That understanding has helped O2 to secure 100% financing for the construction of the air current farm from the investment arm of High German insurance fellowship Allianz, which volition assume ownership when the air current farm becomes operational inward early on 2015.

This scheme is possible thank you lot to Scandinavia’s integrated electricity marketplace in addition to grid system, Nord Pool. It enables us to purchase the air current farm’s output inward Sweden alongside Guarantee of Origin certification in addition to swallow an equivalent amount of ability at our information pump inward Finland. We in addition to then “retire” the Guarantee of Origin certificates to demo that we’ve genuinely used the energy.


As a carbon neutral company, our destination is to purpose equally much renewable unloosen energy equally possible—and yesteryear doing so, induce farther production. The Maevaara air current farm non solely allows us to brand our already highly energy-efficient Finnish information pump fifty-fifty to a greater extent than sustainable, it likewise meets our destination of adding novel renewable unloosen energy generation capacity to the grid.

Of course, using renewable unloosen energy is proficient for the environment, but it likewise makes long term fiscal sense. That’s why, inward add-on to protecting ourselves against futurity increases inward ability prices through long-term purchasing for our operations, nosotros likewise invest inward novel renewable unloosen energy projects that volition deliver a render for our money. In recent years we’ve committed to a greater extent than than $1 billion to such projects inward the Germany and, simply terminal week, South Africa. We’ll cash inward one's chips along to hold off for similar opportunities around the globe.
