wpd has signed a PPA with UPM Kymmene, a producer of pulp, paper and wood-based products. The recently concluded agreement with UPM Kymmene guarantees the purchase of most of the green electricity produced by wpd’s Karhunnevankangas wind farm, a total of almost 4 TWh, for the duration of the contract.
The wind farm is being built in the municipality of Pyhäjoki in western Finland and is expected to be operational in 2022. It is planned to have 32 wind turbines with a capacity of approximately 6MW each.
