The park will annually generate approximately 7.4 MWp per year, which is equivalent to the annual electricity needs of around 1,480 Finnish homes. The project is the first large-scale park in the country and Eltel delivered it ahead of schedule.
Good collaboration paves the way toward carbon neutrality
“Everyone involved in the project created the conditions for us to deliver ahead of schedule,” says Kimmo Koivu, Project Manager at Eltel. “We couldn’t have done this on our own, and we received a lot of support from Eltel experts, our contractors and the customer.”
Good collaboration between the customer Helen, subcontractors, and Eltel employees was appreciated by all the project partners.
“Cooperation with the Eltel team was essential for the Lohja Solar Park project and it is invaluable to be able to cooperate with partners in this way,” Pekka Tolonen,
Vice President of Power Generation at Helen. “The Lohja solar park is an excellent example of how we can achieve ambitious goals if we work together effectively.
This applies both to individual projects like this and to the climate goals that Finland has set.”
Projects such as the Lohja solar park contribute to Finland’s objective to be fully carbon neutral by 2030. Many more renewable energy projects are planned in Finland in the coming years as the company works toward achieving its climate objective.
“There are many lessons to be learned from this project, but perhaps the most important is that good collaboration leads to good results,” concludes Tolonen.
