About the project: Alight’s first project in Finland, the Eurajoki solar park is located on 123 hectares (equivalent to 175 football fields). With an installed capacity of 100+ MW, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 20,000 homes, it will be one of Finland’s largest solar parks at the time of its commissioning. According to the target plan, the solar park will begin construction in Q4 2024 and will be commissioned in Q1 2026.
The Finnish municipality of Eurajoki is already a leader in fossil-free electricity production, home to the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant, and the addition of Alight’s new solar park will further cement its position as a global leader in the clean energy transition. The development and construction of the park will also bring more jobs to the community.
