Dovre’s subsidiary Suvic Oy receives Notice to Proceed and begins construction of a 54-turbine wind farm in Rajamäenkylä

Suvic has received permission to commence work and will initiate the actual construction activities in accordance with the previously announced agreement on February 28, 2025, at 13:30, for the 1.1 TWh wind farm in Rajamäenkylä. The February 28 announcement was released as inside information. The project is commissioned by Rajamäenkylä Wind Oy, owned by OX2, one of the largest onshore wind power developers in the Nordic region.

The Rajamäenkylä wind farm is located in the municipalities of Isojoki and Karijoki in Southern Ostrobothnia, Finland, making it one of the largest wind power projects in the country. The farm consists of 42 turbines in Isojoki and 12 in Karijoki, with each turbine having a capacity of 6.8 MW and a tower height of 162 meters.

The contract covers the execution of the Balance of Plant (BoP) contract, including design, forestry clearing, road construction, turbine foundations, crane pads, and internal grid construction. Suvic’s work is expected to be mostly completed by the end of 2026, and the Rajamäenkylä wind farm is expected to go into operation in 2027.

"It’s truly great that we can finally begin the construction phase of the Rajamäenkylä wind power project. The investment decision now made shows that Finland offers excellent conditions for the strong expansion of renewable energy production. We especially value Suvic’s expertise in foundation design and the use of a local subcontractor for the earthworks in Rajamäenkylä. This wind farm marks our fifth joint project with Suvic," says Veli-Pekka Alkula, Country Manager of OX2 Finland.

Ville Vesanen, CEO of Suvic, adds: “We are pleased that OX2 has chosen us as a partner for this significant project. This project marks an important step toward increasing renewable energy in Finland, and we are proud to be part of its realization. It is also great to see that, after a brief slowdown, wind power construction in Finland is regaining momentum.”
