Current Situation
The schedules for the local master plans of the three municipalities involved in the Lylyharju wind power project have been decided to proceed separately. In Parkano, the local master plan for three wind turbines was approved in spring 2025. In Kihniö, the proposal for six turbines is planned to be made available for public review in spring 2026, with the goal of approval later that year. In Kurikka, the conditions for preparing a plan proposal are currently being assessed.
Extensive studies have been carried out in the project area, which have helped refine the turbine locations. According to these studies, the area is very suitable for wind power production. Lylyharju has also been identified in the Pirkanmaa Regional Plan for Biodiversity and Energy, approved in 2025, as a suitable area for wind power.
