Due to technological development and increased capacity, the costs of wind power have been noticeably cut down. Thus, wind energy is pivotal in the clean energy transition.

Wind energy is a pivotal element to reach carbon-neutral society. (Forson 2016)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On 13 October 2021, 14 members of the joint RES group met online to share updates on two wind energy studies, besides regular projects\u2019 development and upcoming activities information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaisa Torri (2021) from the Regional Council of P\u00e4ij\u00e4t-H\u00e4me, who acts as one of the main RES stakeholders, introduced an ongoing study of wind energy potential in the region. Since 2012, when the last study was conducted, wind technology has developed and new potential areas have been identified. At the same time, some places qualified suitable earlier, may not anymore meet wind and landscape requirements. (Torri 2021.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More background on the topic was complemented by Eira Rosberg-Airaksinen (2021), from the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY) of H\u00e4me, based on their recently conducted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ely-keskus.fi\/ely-hame-tuulivoimaselvitys\">wind power study (in Finnish)<\/a> in the Kanta-H\u00e4me (Tavastia Proper) and P\u00e4ij\u00e4t-H\u00e4me regions. The study confirmed that environmental benefits are largely acknowledged among respondents. At the same time, opposing arguments included expected negative impact on the landscape, noise, reflection, and concerns for losing local recreational values and identity. According to the study, the biggest obstacle not to have more wind power plants in the region is local residents\u2019 opposition. From the municipality\u2019s angle, possible wind power plant projects must be aligned with its values and environmental targets, and fluent information inside and outside flow must be ensured.
