About the project
The Tyrinselkä wind farm is located in the municipalities of Humppila, Jokioinen and Ypäjä in Kanta-Häme, Finland.
The wind farm, comprising a total of eight wind turbines, has been built in two phases. The first phase, Tyrinselkä 1, consists of four wind turbines located in Jokioinen. These turbines have a total rated power of 12 MW and each turbine has a total height of 210 metres. Tyrinselkä 1 was commissioned in 2016.
The second phase of the wind farm, Tyrinselkä 2, consists of three wind turbines in Ypäjä and one in Humppila. The total rated power of the turbines is 17.1 MW. The maximum height of the turbines on the Ypäjä side is 220 metres and the turbine on the Humppila side is 230 metres. Tyrinselkä 2 was commissioned in 2021.
The total rated power of the eight power plants in the wind farm is 29.1 MW. Its estimated annual production is about 99 gigawatt-hours, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 20,000 households (5,000 kWh/household). The wind farm is connected to Caruna's electricity grid.
OX2 has been responsible for the technical and commercial management of the Tyrinselkä wind farm since early 2024. Tyrinselkä is one of the wind farms implemented by a third party and managed by OX2. The wind farm is owned by Aquila Capital.

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.
Accessibility
Accessibility
It is possible to hike, hunt, or pick berries and mushrooms in the wind farm area, with respect to the area's warning signs and prevailing weather conditions. Caution should be observed in certain weather conditions. It is unsafe to be near the wind turbines during thunderstorms and when there is a risk of ice or snow falling from the wind turbines. Therefore, please pay attention to the local weather conditions. Ice accumulation on wind turbines occurs at temperatures just above 0 °C and colder, especially during snowfall or when the turbine is covered with fog or clouds. A safety distance of at least 350 m should be maintained to each wind turbine during these conditions.
