Tuulipuisto

Tuulipuisto is the Finnish word for wind farm. A wind farm, also known as a wind park or wind power station, is a group of wind turbines in the same location, used to generate electricity. Wind farms can be located onshore or offshore. Onshore wind farms are more common, but offshore wind farms are becoming increasingly popular due to stronger and more consistent winds.

The first wind farms were developed in the late 20th century. They have since become a significant source of renewable energy in many countries. The electricity generated by a wind farm is fed into the electrical grid. The capacity of wind farms varies greatly, from a few turbines to hundreds. The size of a wind turbine can also vary significantly, with the largest ones having rotor diameters of over 200 meters.

Wind power is a clean energy source, as it does not produce greenhouse gas emissions during operation. However, the manufacturing and installation of wind turbines can have environmental impacts. Concerns include visual impact, noise pollution, and potential harm to birds and bats. Despite these concerns, wind energy is considered a vital part of global efforts to combat climate change and transition to a sustainable energy future. Finland, like many other nations, is actively developing its wind power capacity, with numerous tuulipuisto projects underway and planned.
