Krogerus advised wind power company CPC Finland when it entered into a joint venture with Finnish energy group Helen (40% CPC, 60% Helen) for construction, owning and operating the 86 MW Lakiakangas 3 wind farm, consisting of 20 Vestas V150-4.3 MW turbines and located in the municipalities of Kristiinankaupunki and Isojoki in Western Finland.

The power line is currently under construction and will be commissioned in August 2021.

The Krogerus team was led by Partner Ville Hailikari and he was mainly assisted by Partner Marko Vuori, Counsel Essi Launonen and Associate Jani-Pekka Jussila. Partner Heidi Kivenjuuri, primarily assisted by Associate Hanna Kim, Associate Riina Toivonen and Associate Trainee Risto Mynttinen, advised on financing matters.
