Located in Ylivieska region, the project is being developed by renewable energy investment firm Reconcept.
The turbines will be mounted on Vestas’ large diameter steel towers (LDST) at a 137m hub-height, which will result in maximum energy production on low wind sites.
Vestas plans to complete the delivery and commissioning of the turbines in the second quarter of 2015 and the deal includes a 12-year service contract.
The wind farm is the third project in Finland to use the combination of LDSTs and the V126-3.3MW turbines, Vestas said.
Reconcept managing director Karsten Reetz said: "The Finnish state has created an investment-friendly system to support renewable energy, which makes investments such as this project attractive for Finnish as well as foreign investors. We’re already planning our next wind power project in Finland."
Vestas Northern Europe president Klaus Steen Mortensen said: "Vestas looks forward to working closely with reconcept GmbH to build and service their first wind power project in Finland.
"Finland is an important market for Vestas and an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investors."
Denmark-based Vestas has to date installed 65 turbines, totaling 100MW, in Finland.
