Kyyrönsuo
Forus is planning a solar park in Kyyrönsuo, Kontiolahti
When completed, the solar park would generate approximately 120 gigawatt-hours of renewable electricity annually. This would be equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 60,000 apartment units.
The goal is to obtain a building permit during the year 2024
General information
We are planning a solar park in Kyyrönsuo, Kontiolahti, with an approximate size of 165 hectares. When completed, it would generate around 120 GWh of renewable electricity, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 60,000 apartment units.
The solar power project supports the vitality of the region by enabling renewable energy production in Kontiolahti.
In the area, there is also a peatland restoration area implemented by the municipality of Kontiolahti, which will remain unchanged during both the construction phase and after the installation of solar panels. Efforts are already underway to explore methods for restoring the soil on the former peat production site. The goal is to enhance the ecological values of the project area through restoration measures and integrate renewable energy production.
Ilmastovaikutukset
Aurinkosähkön ominaispäästö
Päästövähennys elinkaarenaikana
Maankäytön muutosten vaikutus
Kontionlahden Kyyrönsuolle suunnitellusta aurinkovoimahankkeesta on laadittu ilmastovaikutusselvitys. Selvityksessä on tutkittu rakennettavan aurinkovoimalan vaikutusta ilmaston lämpenemiseen.
- komponenttien ja rakenteiden elinkaariarvioinnin keinoin.
- voimalan rakentamisen yhteydessä tehtävien maankäytön muutosten hiilitasearvion avulla.
- elinkaaren aikana tuotetun sähkön päästövaikutukset kolmen eri skenaarioanalyysin avulla.
Selvitys perustuu alustaviin suunnitelmiin ja oletuksiin aurinkovoimalan rakenteesta ja koosta. Suunnitelmat tarkentuvat hankkeen edetessä, ja hiilitaseselvitystä päivitetään tarvittaessa.
Location
The project is located within the original Lehmo general plan area, extending to Kyyrönsuo and the drained peatlands to its east.
News
- An outline master plan is being prepared for the area, for which Forus has entered into a zoning agreement with the municipality of Kontiolahti. The planning area is mainly situated within the boundaries of the former Lehmo general plan, from which the solar power plan has been designated as a separate area.
- The planning consultant for the project is FCG.
- The decision on the need for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was received in the fall of 2023. The North Karelia Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment decided that the EIA procedure is not applicable to the project.
- A public meeting was held in Kontiolahti on November 16, 2023, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Hall (Keskuskatu 8, 81100 Kontiolahti).
Preliminary
schedule for the project
- The initiation of the local master plan on February 13, 2023
- The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) necessity consideration was completed in 2023
- Public meeting 16.11.2023
- Planning requirement decision 2024
- Building permit 2024
- Construction 2025-2026
