AFRY to provide Neoen with complete solutions for wind measurements and analysis for three wind farm projects in Finland

Neoen has chosen AFRY as their partner in wind measurements and analysis for their upcoming wind projects in three locations in Finland, namely Itämäki, Marjakeidas and Paholammi. The three wind farms, now being in the development phase, will have an combined nominal capacity of approximately 365 MW. With this turn-key solution, AFRY will assist Neoen with every aspect of wind measurements and analysis from start to finish.

AFRY has a long history and experience within wind power and will now provide Neoen with a turn-key solution for each of the three wind farms. This will include wind measurements with location analysis, 174 meter high met masts complete with state of the art wind measurement instruments, additional sodar units as well as wind energy yield analyses.

- We chose AFRY as a partner for these wind measurement projects based on the great value they can bring to the projects, including their experience and commitment in providing a complete solution for each project. Each project is of great significance to Neoen, why it is also critical that our chosen partner has the resources to provide state of the art services within our time frame, along with significant references. Quality is of utmost importance to us, which is why we expect the same level of quality from our partners, says Miika Pilli, Head of Business Development Finland at Neoen.
