Tiivistelmä
With the rapid growth of society, people are seeking better, renewable and emission-free energy resources. Finland is not an exception in this race. In fact, green energy is one of its main resources. For example, thousands of wind turbines had been built along the West coast of Finland.
The purpose of this thesis was to study the potential of constructing a wind power park in Eastern Finland. The current position of wind power in Finland and Europe was analysed, and the parameters that need to be taken into account when building wind farms in the pro-posed area were determined.
Spatial data were manipulated with the GIS software QGIS and presented on a topographic map. Due to the limited of data resources, the project is only tentative and more academic. Thus, more researches and analyses are needed in order to finalise the project.
