Enersense International, a Finnish company specializing in construction and maintenance of energy and industrial plants, has been awarded a contract by Gigawatti Oy for the construction of the Oosinselkä wind farm in Luvia, Finland. The project consists of the construction of 13 turbines and the internal network as a turnkey delivery. The wind farm is fully owned by S-Voima Oy, who is responsible for the S Group's electricity procurement.
Enersense International will begin the construction of the wind farm in the summer of 2023, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. S-Voima chief executive Mikko Halonen emphasized the importance of the project, saying, “The Oosinselkä wind farm is a continuation of the cooperative's long-term investments to increase their own renewable energy. When completed, the wind farm will produce approximately a fifth of the S Group's electricity demand. Enersense's long experience in wind farm infrastructure construction was decisive in the selection of the contractor.”
