Construction started for a 35 MWp Hybrid Energy Park in Hanko

Solarigo Systems Oy has signed an agreement with Endra AS, a Norwegian renewable energy company, to deliver a 35 MWp PV + 5 MW BESS utility-scale hybrid solar park in Hanko, Finland.

Solarigo will act as the full EPC contractor of the hybrid park.

The project is already under way and is scheduled for completion during 2028.

The project site was previously used to store vehicles, making it an excellent example of how solar power can give already developed land a new purpose.

Located on the Hanko Peninsula, the solar park benefits from some of the highest levels of solar irradiation in Finland. Once operational, it is expected to generate approximately 35 GWh of renewable electricity annually.

“We are very pleased to enter the Finnish market with this great project, working together with one of the most experienced actors in the industry, Solarigo. Location and site are perfect for a modern hybrid PV+BESS project, which projects will increasingly form an important part of the future energy system”, says Harri Roto, Endra’s Country Manager in Finland.

As the full EPC contractor, Solarigo Systems Oy will be responsible for the comprehensive delivery of the solar park.

The project plans also includes a 5 MW / 10 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The storage solution expands the solar park into a hybrid energy facility, increasing its operational flexibility and enabling more versatile use of the renewable electricity produced.

“We are grateful to Endra for the trust placed in Solarigo in this major project. The agreement builds on our long-standing work as a reliable and experienced EPC partner for utility-scale solar and hybrid energy projects in Finland. We are proud to support the project throughout its lifecycle” says Erno Syvälahti, Head of Utility Sales at Solarigo Systems Oy.

The agreement further strengthens Solarigo’s position as an experienced lifecycle partner for utility-scale renewable energy projects. Solarigo’s capabilities cover the development and construction of solar and hybrid parks as well as their long-term technical operation and maintenance.
