In the hybrid project, a solar power production area (about 50 MWp) and three wind turbines (18-30MW) are also planned in connection with the hydrogen separation plant.
The hydrogen refinery planning area is located 10 kilometers from the village of Meltaus and about 55 kilometers from the center of Rovaniemi. The project is planned to be connected to the 110 kV power line at the border of the planning area. The planning area of the project is approximately 500 hectares.
The zoning of the project has proceeded to the phase of participation and assessment scheme. Documents and the announcement are available at the website of the City of Rovaniemi: www.rovaniemi.fi/kaavatori.
The project will create permanent jobs during construction and operation, as well as indirect employment effects. For the city, the hybrid project will generate direct tax revenues from property, municipal and community taxes, in addition to local labour taxes. In addition, the project would improve Rovaniemi’s attractiveness for investment and enable the growth of new businesses that need green hydrogen.
