Information about the project
Suomen Voima is developing the Rokamo-Nälkämä wind farm project, which is to be located in Kemijärvi. The project involves the construction of up to eight wind turbines, each with a capacity of 7–10 MW and a maximum tip height of 300 metres.
The project area is situated to the south of the Nuolivaara wind farm, in the areas of Pieni Näkämävaara, Välivaara and Rokamovarviko. The distance from the project area to the centre of Kemijärvi is approximately 22 kilometres, and the area borders the municipal boundary of Salla. The project’s electricity transmission is planned to be routed to the Isokero substation in Kemijärvi.
The project is progressing towards the draft plan stage on the basis of the EIA and the reasoned conclusion. Following the draft plan stage, more detailed technical planning for the project will continue and the process of applying for planning permission will begin.

Hankkeen vaikutukset lähiympäristöön
The construction of wind farms, like all human activity, has an impact on the environment. The EIA procedure has been applied to the Rokamo-Nälkämä wind farm project, and the project’s planning aims to minimise its negative environmental impacts. The EIA process and related materials can be viewed on the ymparisto.fi website.
The environmental impact assessment report and the coordinating authority’s reasoned conclusion can also be found at the bottom of this page.
