Abstract

Wind energy is not the first form of renewable energy for cities to come to mind. Only few towns and cities have enough space to construct major 'wind farms' on their territories. Small-scale wind power facilities are more common in towns and cities that initially conducted feasibility studies. This is not so in the Finnish city of Pori, where the city has been a pioneer in Finland by constructing an 8 MW wind farm, thus doubling overall wind energy production in the country.

Key words: Wind Energy

This case study was prepared by Energie-Cités in cooperation with the City of Pori. It received funding from the European Commission DG TREN within the scope of the ALTENER Programme.
