On Tuesday, December 9, Suomen Vetylaakso organized a webinar on how to resolve the radar issue that is preventing the construction of wind power in eastern Finland.
LUT University is now investigating what kind of technological solutions would enable the construction of wind power. Several international defense industry companies are participating in the research project. Experts discussing the situation included LUT University'sResearch Director Petteri Laaksonen and visiting researcher Ari Järvinen, who has previously worked with surveillance and command systems in the air force.
The construction of wind power is vital for maintaining the vitality of eastern Finland. Once the radar issue is resolved, it will be possible to build thousands of wind turbines in eastern Finland, bringing investment and up to 30,000 jobs to the region. The construction of wind power will also strengthen our defense capabilities as part of the ResilEast national defense energy program.
