Construction is expected to begin on Finland’s first solar energy plant next year. According to Juha Attenberg, CEO of Sunvoima Oy (Sun Power Ltd), energy production will begin in the spring of 2011.
Energy output from the plant has been set at a modest one megawatt, but capacity can be expanded to meet demand.
The company is currently surveying different coastal areas to determine which has the best exposure to the sun – Kotka is one location that seems to have catching enough rays to attract the plant owners.
Sunvoima officials have begun to sell shares in the plant's output to businesses and households, which can then either be used by the purchasers or sold onwards.
