The Kalajoki Mutkalampi wind farm, one of the largest in Finland, has recently added a unique art installation designed by artist duo Petteri Nisunen and Tommi Grönlund. The installation features a sculpture shaped like a stack of logs, measuring over sixty meters in length and three meters high. This piece creatively represents the hourly energy production of the wind farm by symbolizing it in the form of split wood. The installation is located on Kannuksentie Road, within the wind farm area, and is accessible to the public, aiming to enhance the cultural experience associated with renewable energy production.

The artwork, constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel, birch logs, and LED lights, involved significant investment from Neoen, the energy company behind the wind farm, with estimates suggesting costs in the tens of thousands of euros. Jerri Loikkanen, Neoen's country manager for Finland, highlighted that incorporating art into wind farms is still quite rare in the country. However, the company is committed to promoting artistic initiatives and has also previously commissioned art at another site in Närpiö, where local schools were engaged in the planning process.

This initiative exemplifies a growing trend in Finland to merge renewable energy with local culture and art, fostering community engagement and appreciation for both the environment and artistic expression. With increasing awareness of the impact of climate change, art installations like this can serve to inspire discussions around sustainability and the importance of renewable energy sources.
