Icing problems have cut the available capacity at Finnish utility Fortum’s Pjelax onshore wind farm from 380 MW to 115 MW.
The unplanned outage in Finland began at 08:44 CET with an additional impact of 350 MW, Fortum said on Friday.
It said the impact had been reduced to 265 MW later and that the capacity would likely be reduced until Saturday.
The 56-turbine wind farm is Finland’s third largest and started operations in October 2023.
