Hannes Snellman Advised OX2 in the construction, development, offtake, and Finnish law aspects of the project financing of two energy storage facilities with a combined capacity of 235 MW/470 MWh

The energy storage facilities will be co-located with the Kannisto wind farm in Halsua and the Korkeamaa wind farm in Soini. Both energy storage facilities will be completed in 2028. The projects represent OX2's first energy storage additions to its Finnish IPP portfolio, and OX2 has secured a long-term flexible purchase agreement with Norwegian power producer Statkraft for the operation and optimisation of both storage facilities. OX2 has also secured a long-term project financing package with KfW IPEX-Bank, NatWest, Nordea, and SEB through an extension of the commitments already made towards the Kannisto, Korkeamaa, and Salo-Ylikoski wind power projects. The energy storage facilities will remain under OX2's ownership after completion.
