Developer Flexens’ 300MW facility would be Finland’s largest and could feed into the planned Nordic Hydrogen Route
Finnish project developer Flexens has signed a letter of intent to lease land for a 300MW green hydrogen and ammonia facility in the city of Kokkola’s industrial park area. The project is expected to come onstream from 2027 and could feed into the planned Nordic Hydrogen Route—a 1,000 km transmission network in the Bothnian Bay area between Sweden and Finland that could establish an open hydrogen market by 2030.
