Construction

Duration of construction

Construction of the Sopi-Tootsi wind farm began in early 2023 with land improvement work. In the first phase, all the necessary preparations were made for building the foundations and installing cables. The foundations were completed in February 2024, and the wind turbines were set up over six months, from April to September. The wind farm is expected to reach full production capacity in the first quarter of 2025.

Impact of construction on daily life

There are no residential buildings close to the wind farm, so the construction work will not cause significant disruption to local residents.

The most noticeable impact will be increased traffic on roads near the settlement of Tootsi and on Tööstuse Street in Tootsi. Drivers are advised to stay alert and follow temporary traffic signs during the construction period.
