The origin of Ilmatar’s name comes from Finnish literature. Our company is named after the goddess of air, Ilmatar, from the Finnish national epic Kalevala. In the epic saga, Ilmatar lands in the primordial sea and is impregnated by the wind. A scaup flies across the skies and lays an egg on her knee. Out of the egg are born the sun, the earth, the heavens, the moon and the stars.
Ilmatar started its journey in the world of wind power generation, making the name of the goddess of air an inspired and perfectly fitting choice for a company dedicated to harnessing the power of the wind. Today, we generate clean electricity sustainably and efficiently also from sun, and with energy storage, we enhance a more flexible energy ecosystem.
