Why invest in Valorem Energies Finland

Participate in Finland's first local wind energy funding campaign
Valorem is launching the first-ever public wind energy funding campaign in Finland, starting in Kiuruvesi. This marks a new way for local communities to participate in—and benefit from—the clean energy transition.

Backed by an industry leader
The investment is issued by Valorem Energies Finland Oy and 100% guaranteed by its parent, Valorem S.A.S.—a French pioneer with over 30 years of experience, 1.3 TWh produced in 2023, and more than €1.4 billion in assets on a consolidated group level.

Clean energy for 190,000 households
Once completed, the Lapinsalo wind farm will comprise up to 44 wind turbines (8 MW each), generating enough electricity to power approx. 190,000 Finnish households annually—an essential step toward carbon neutrality.

Strong local and national impact
Kiuruvesi stands to receive millions in property tax revenues over the project's lifespan. Roads will be maintained year-round, benefitting the community. The campaign is intentionally phased: starting with locals, expanding to all Finland, and then Europe.

Proven financing experience
Valorem has already raised over €65 million through similar campaigns in France. Now, the company brings this successful model to Finland—with a 10% fixed annual return (paid semi-annually over 3 years) for investors, starting with investments from €250.

Minna Jukola, Country Manager

"At Valorem, we believe in building the foundations for a sustainable energy future—one project at a time. With our first wind financing campaign in Finland, we’re inviting local residents and impact-minded investors to take part in this transition. Together, we can make clean energy both possible and participatory."

Minna Jukola, Country Manager for Valorem Energies Finland Oy

Overview

Introduction to the project

This funding round supports the early-stage development of the Lapinsalo wind farm, specifically funding wind measurements. These are critical for validating site-specific energy yield and optimizing turbine placement—key steps that ensure long-term performance and environmental integration.

The Lapinsalo Wind Farm is a landmark renewable energy initiative located in Kiuruvesi, Finland. Spearheaded by Valorem Energies Finland Oy, this wind project will include up to 44 turbines, each with a rated capacity of approximately 8 MW. Once operational, the wind farm is expected to generate enough electricity to supply around 190,000 Finnish households, based on an annual consumption of 5,000 kWh.

Though construction will follow under a separate budget, your investment today contributes to one of the most vital stages of the project’s success. In addition to climate benefits, the project brings economic and infrastructure advantages to the local region, including road maintenance and long-term property tax revenue for Kiuruvesi.

Impact

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or 'Global Goals') are part of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and constitute the international framework for sustainable development until 2030. These SDGs are intended to put an end to poverty, inequality, and climate change.

The Lapinsalo wind project will help replace fossil-based electricity in Finland, avoiding an estimated 250,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year. It supports Finland’s carbon neutrality goal for 2035 and contributes to EU renewable energy targets by delivering measurable climate benefits through clean power generation.

SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy

The project will supply renewable electricity to approximately 190,000 Finnish households annually, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and supporting Finland’s carbon neutrality target for 2035.

The funding model allows citizens to participate directly in the clean energy transition, making sustainable investment more inclusive and accessible.

SDG 13: Climate action

Wind measurements funded by this campaign are a foundational step in building a large-scale, modern wind farm—laying the groundwork for infrastructure that will generate clean energy for up to 35 years.

The project also supports rural infrastructure improvements, such as year-round road maintenance, benefiting the local community.

Purpose of financing 

Icon solar power

Valorem S.A.S. is enabling local citizens and impact-driven investors to support the early-stage development of wind projects by funding essential wind measurements.

These measurements are critical to:

  • Validate the site’s energy potential, providing data that informs decisions about turbine placement and sizing.
  • Inform the technical and financial design, ensuring that project plans are based on accurate, data-driven insights.
  • Provide accurate electricity production estimates, which influence the project's viability, financing, and permitting processes.

The construction phase, including turbine installation and grid connection, will be funded through separate budgets. By participating now, investors help de-risk projects early on and contribute to the clean energy transition at a decisive phase.

Thanks to the guarantee from Valorem S.A.S., this financing opportunity combines meaningful impact with a reliable, fixed return.
