Cables by Reka to capture the power generated by the Pajukoski wind farm

A total of nine 3.3 MW wind turbines will be constructed in the Pajukoski wind farm in the Finnish town of Ylivieska. The combined power output of the turbines will be 97 gigawatt hours per year, corresponding to the energy need of 30,000 apartment building homes.

The electrical contractor for the job is HSK Sähkö Ltd, which is responsible for the installation of the wind farm cables, the substation and the high voltage line from the Uusnivala substation to the Pajukoski substation. The contract also includes the data communications network connecting the substation, the wind farm and the farm’s nine wind turbines. A total of 30 kilometres of underground cables will be laid in the area.

In the Autumn 2014, Reka Cables delivered almost 100 kilometres of cables to the Pajukoski wind farm project. The cables were delivered to HSK Sähkö Ltd. via Onninen Oy. The deliveries consisted of several medium-voltage 30 kV AHXAMK-W cables of different size.

The construction of the Pajukoski wind farm began in 2014. The wind farm will be commissioned in stages, the goal being that the final wind turbine will be producing electricity to the national grid by the end of October 2015.
