Swedish utility Vattenfall and Finnish forestry firm Metsähallitus have agreed to expand their planned Korsnäs offshore wind farm in Finland by over 50% to 2GW.
The partners linked up on Korsnäs project in December 2022, when it was intended to have headline capacity of 1.3GW. However, the pair are now planning an additional 700MW because a new regional plan in Finland’s Ostrobothnia region increases the size of the site by 5,400 hectares, to 27,400 hectares.
