Pohjan Voima

What Pohjan Voima does

Pohjan Voima Oy is a Finnish renewable energy project developer founded in 2021 and headquartered at Keilaranta 16, Espoo. The company identifies greenfield sites, secures land leases and permits, and develops onshore wind, utility-scale solar, battery energy storage (BESS), and low-emission data center projects across Finland, spanning geographies from Lapland to Southern Finland. Its development portfolio exceeds 2 GW across 16 wind and solar projects plus 5 battery and data center projects, with select sites already holding permits in force (e.g., Koppeloneva Solar Park at 45 MWp and Vuolijoki BESS).

The company's core technology is project development rather than a software platform: it manages site identification, land lease negotiations, EIA and permitting, grid interconnection, and financing, then either sells ready-to-build or operational projects to energy companies and asset managers, or holds assets and sells long-term (10-20 year) Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) directly to large electricity consumers. Pohjan Voima is 51% owned by Sweden's Arise AB (which became part of Norwegian Aneo Group in January 2026), with the remainder held by Finnish mutual insurer LähiTapiola and the management team, providing it with both capital depth and a Nordic buyer network for divestitures (completed sales include the 125 MW Pysäysperä BESS to Alpiq and the 125 MW Keminmaa BESS to Luxcara).

Commercially, Pohjan Voima operates as a lean, enterprise-focused development firm with 1-10 employees, a project-sale revenue model supplemented by recurring PPA income, and a community-first go-to-market centered on municipal engagement, public consultations, and project-specific microsites. Its go-to-market blends direct B2B sales to large energy offtakers and investors (Luxcara, Alpiq) with direct PPA origination to large Finnish industrial and commercial electricity consumers, supported by land-use partnerships with state land manager Metsähallitus and private forest owner Finsilva.

Core offering

Pohjan Voima is a Finnish renewable energy project developer that plans, permits, and brings to construction-ready status onshore wind farms, utility-scale solar parks, large battery energy storage systems (BESS), and low-emission data centre projects across Finland. The company monetises its developments either by divesting ready-to-build or operational projects to energy companies and investors, or by retaining assets to sell renewable electricity directly to large consumers via long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) of 10-20 years.

Product overview

Pohjan Voima is a Finnish energy company that develops clean energy production infrastructure across Finland. The company's portfolio consists of three core product categories: (1) Wind Power Projects - onshore wind farm development at various stages from planning through implementation, with projects distributed across Finland including Perho, Vaala, Kankaanpää, Sonkajärvi, Joutsa, Parkano, Ylöjärvi, Kajaani, Pyhäjärvi, and Rovaniemi; (2) Solar Power Projects - utility-scale solar park development, often combined with wind farms in hybrid configurations; (3) Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) - large-scale battery storage facilities including Keminmaa (125 MW) and Pysäysperä (125 MW) projects. Additionally, the company has recently expanded into (4) Data Centre Development - low-emission data centre projects in Southern Lapland, Mänttä-Vilppula, Parkano, and Merijärvi, leveraging Finland's clean electricity and cool climate. The company also offers (5) PPA Agreements - long-term power purchase agreements for businesses seeking renewable electricity at fixed prices. Services include comprehensive project development from site identification through permitting and financing.

Products and services

• Wind Power Projects (Tuulipuistot) Onshore wind farm development across Finland, covering planning, EIA, permitting, land lease negotiations, and construction readiness for projects with typically 5-35 turbines at locations such as Perho, Vaala, Kankaanpää, Sonkajärvi, Joutsa, Parkano, Ikaalinen, Ylöjärvi, Kajaani, Pyhäjärvi, and Rovaniemi.
• Solar Power Projects (Aurinkopuistot) Utility-scale solar park development across Finland, including projects like Koppeloneva Solar Park in Alajärvi (45 MWp, with permit in force) and combined wind-solar hybrid projects, brought from site identification through permitting and financing.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Statkraft AS: Norwegian state-owned renewable energy generator and developer with significant Nordic wind and hydropower operations. Comparable as a Nordic renewable project developer and energy offtaker, but at much larger scale and with broader European presence.
• Fortum Oyj: Major Nordic energy utility headquartered in Finland with significant renewable generation, hydro, and power-generation operations. Overlaps with Pohjan Voima on Finnish renewable development and PPA offtake but operates a much broader conventional and renewable portfolio.
• Vattenfall AB: Swedish state-owned European energy major with large-scale wind, solar, and battery development across the Nordics. Overlaps with Pohjan Voima in Nordic renewable development and PPA supply, but as part of a much broader integrated utility.
• Helen Oy: Helsinki-based energy utility with growing investments in wind, solar, and battery storage. Comparable on Finnish renewable development and PPA offerings, but inside an incumbent utility business model rather than a pure greenfield developer.

Direct peers

• OX2 AB: Swedish-origin renewable-energy developer with a Nordic and European onshore wind and solar project pipeline. Comparable as a greenfield developer with similar project sale/PPA economics and pipeline scale, though more geographically diversified.
• Winda Energy Oy: Finnish wind power developer focused on developing and operating onshore wind farms in Finland. Closely comparable on geography and project-development focus, though with a smaller disclosed pipeline.
• Taaleri Energia Oy: Finnish renewable-energy fund manager and developer of industrial-scale wind and solar parks, with co-development history alongside Pohjan Voima on projects such as Haarasuonkangas. Same country, similar ready-to-build project economics.
• Arise AB (Aneo Group): Swedish wind power developer and 51% owner of Pohjan Voima, now part of Nordic Aneo Group. Operates a directly comparable wind development, construction, and asset-management business across the Nordics and provides a useful platform benchmark for Pohjan Voima's eventual scale.
• Hyötytuuli Oy: One of Finland's earliest and largest wind-power cooperatives, developing and operating onshore wind farms across the country. Comparable on Finnish-only geography and renewable-project development orientation.
• Ilmatar Oy: Finnish independent power company that develops, builds, owns, and operates onshore wind and solar projects across Finland. Operates in the same country with a similar project-development-to-asset-rotation model, making it the closest head-to-head peer for Pohjan Voima's wind/solar activities.
