UPM establish wind power joint venture

2013-04-09 UPM and Element Power have established a wind power development joint venture company in order to develop wind power production possibilities on a number of sites throughout Finland on land leased from UPM.

The aim of the joint venture is to develop the best suitable land areas owned by UPM to be ready for wind power production. UPM owns approximately 850 000 hectares of land in Finland.The goal of the Finnish climate and energy strategy is to use wind power to produce around 6% of the total electricity consumed by 2020. The production target is 6 TWh, which would require a total capacity of around 2,500 megawatts. This is the equivalent of approximately 900 turbines. At the end of 2012, almost 300 megawatts of wind power capacity had been installed in Finland.
