Ilmatar

The latest statistics from Suomen uusiutuvat / Renewables Finland highlight the rapid growth of wind and solar power in Finland. Ilmatar continues to play a key role in this transition, with a strong portfolio in both sectors.  🔹 Wind power: We are among the top developers in Finland, with 20% of all wind turbines under construction this year. 🔹 Solar energy: Nearly half of all fully permitted solar power capacity in Finland is owned by Ilmatar.   🔹 A unique energy portfolio: By combining wind, solar, and battery storage solutions, we are creating a more balanced and resilient energy system.  Learn more about the latest developments and Ilmatar’s role in Finland’s renewable energy growth in our latest article. https://lnkd.in/d8VTw742 #RenewablesFinland #WindPower #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition

Today, we celebrate Alvar and Aino Aalto and Finnish Architecture & Design Day, and what better place to do so than in one of Aalto’s iconic buildings, our headquarters – Sugar Cube (Sokeripala) in Helsinki in Kanavaranta 1! We’ve now been working in this stunning space for about a year, and we couldn’t be happier. The natural light, clean lines, and timeless design – hallmarks of Aalto’s architecture – create an inspiring environment for working with renewable energy. What makes this office special for our team? For some, it's the breathtaking city views; for others, it's the open, airy spaces. And of course, the location in the heart of Helsinki is hard to beat! Timeless architecture, a great work environment, and a commitment to a sustainable future – a combination that just works. #AlvarAalto #Sokeripala #SugarCube #Helsinki #Architecture #Design #Workplace #RenewableEnergy Images: DEKA

We have submitted the environmental permit application for the Uppsalebo solar park project in Västervik municipality, in Sweden. Covering 380 hectares, this 290 MW project is set to become one of Sweden’s largest solar parks, driving renewable energy production in the region. This milestone reflects Ilmatar’s commitment to expanding green energy in southern Sweden, alongside our other two major projects Tönnersjö and Olivehult. Now, awaiting approval to start construction, with a target completion date of 2034.   https://lnkd.in/dinaVgtu #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability (Image from Joroinen, Finland)

Our ESG Manager, Cecilia Hertzberg, spoke last Friday at the UN Global Compact Network Finland's Responsibility Group event about Ilmatar's corporate responsibility communications. We shared highlights from Ilmatar’s website renewal and brand brightening projects, as well as insights into how communication serves as a vital tool in shaping corporate culture. The audience appreciated the practical tips we offered on employee engagement and internal communication. Special thanks to the entire UN Global Compact team and Netta Honkanen for the invitation! #Sustainability #ESG #RenewableEnergy

At Ilmatar, we want to be part of creating sustainable impacts in the communities where we operate. In Motala Municipality, Sweden, we are developing the Olivehult solar park near the locality of Borensberg. One example of our involvement in the area is our collaboration with Borensbergs IF FK. Borensbergs IF FK is a football club that serves as the heart of the community, offering sports opportunities for everyone, regardless of age or skill level. The club is an essential part of the local community, providing young people and families with opportunities to engage in sports and well-being. The support of businesses operating in the area enables the club's development and the growth of the community.

We at Ilmatar aim to be an active part of the communities where we operate. One example of this is our collaboration with Solkatterna speedway club in Karlstad, Sweden, near our Lång and Grums projects. The Solkatterna speedway club relies heavily on volunteer work. Corporate sponsorship and support for local communities can create lasting impacts – fostering the growth and well-being of both children and adults.

The MSP Days 2024, themed “Merestä kaikille — The Sea Belongs to Everyone,” highlighted the necessity of open dialogue and mutual understanding to ensure that renewable energy projects are developed respecting the marine ecosystem and the needs of other maritime sectors as well as benefiting the environment, the economy, and society. Participating from Ilmatar was Stefan Husa and Jori Sihvonen - learn more about their insights here: https://lnkd.in/din_ekYX #msp #renewableenergy #ilmatar #mspdays

Wind turbines are becoming a familiar sight in the Nordic landscape, playing a vital role in the green transition. Despite this, they are sometimes criticized for the noise they generate. But how much noise does a wind farm actually produce? Read more about our approach to noise and wind power on our website. #WindPower #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Turbines https://lnkd.in/ddn2ADmR

We had the priviledge to witness the installation of the last turbine in our Korpilevonmäki wind farm in Säkylä, Satakunta region, together with Joost Notenboom and Chiayen Lin from Omnes. With all six turbines now installed, the wind farm is set to produce approximately 125 GWh of renewable energy annually, with each turbine delivering 6.4 MW of capacity. Quick facts: Height: 248.35 m (with blades), 169 m (without). Tower: Built from 7 sections, installed using two cranes. Blades: 79.35 m long, 162 m rotor diameter. The substation will soon be connected, energizing the turbines for commissioning. Production starts in early 2025! #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Korpilevonmäki

Inspiring insights over Lunch & Learn!   We had the pleasure of hosting Joost Notenboom and Chiayen Lin from Omnes Capital, Paris to share their knowledge on integrating sustainability into investment processes and business practices.   Key takeaways:   "Knowledge sharing is the key to accelerating the energy transition."  By learning together, we build a stronger foundation for sustainable growth.   "Circularity makes sense."  Shifting towards energy independence opens new business opportunities, while reducing reliance on global supply chains.   In addition to gaining fresh insights, the shared lunch moments highlight the value of connection and community at work. #Lunch&Learn #Sustainability #Circularity #Ilmatar
