About the project
Located in Nummijärvi in Kauhajoki, South Ostrobothnia, the Aurinkonevat solar power project is one of the largest solar power projects being planned in Finland. The project area, which covers around 600 hectares, is mainly an old peat extraction area.
The project aims for an estimated total installed capacity of 500 MW. When completed, the solar power plant will have an estimated annual energy production of 538 GWh, which corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of around 108,000 households (5,000 KWh/household).
What’s next?
The planning of the project is underway. The aim is to have the investment decision to build the project by the end of 2026 and for construction work to begin in 2027. The solar power farm is estimated to start operating in 2028.

Sustainability
Sustainability
OX2 and our suppliers are guests in the local communities. For us, is extremely important to create dialogue with and show respect for the people who live and work in the local area. This includes transparent communication, creating local jobs, business sector development or financial grants through community funds or property tax, depending on the market and conditions in the area.
The expansion of renewable energy should not come at the expense of nature and it is not enough for us to mitigate climate change. We have long worked to minimize our negative impact on nature and are now taking decisive action towards our goal of nature-positive wind and solar farms by 2030.
Our projects are sustainable by design, from early planning to construction and management.
