Aurinkokarhu plans a 45-hectare solar park in Vörå and Korsholm, with approximately 48,000 solar panels producing 31 GWh annually, sufficient to charge over 500,000 electric vehicles. The project faces challenges including low profitability due to low electricity prices and grid connection issues, potentially delaying operations until late 2028 or 2029.

Renfält anticipates increased electricity demand from industrial projects. He highlights the need for energy storage solutions and acknowledges that solar power will not solely meet Finland's future energy needs. The project is currently seeking municipal approvals and funding.
