Vestas will deliver five V112-3.3MW turbines to the project near Tornio, northwest Finland. The order includes a six-year service deal once the project is commissioned, due to be in the second quarter of 2015.
It will be the first commercial project to feature the Danish manufacturer's De-Icing system, designed to remove ice the blades. Ice on blades can affect power production by up to 20%.
The VDS system uses a flow of warm air in the blade to melt any ice that has formed on the blade.
A prototype of the system was installed on a turbine in Canada in 2012.
Rajakiiri Oy is a wind power consortium made up of Finnish energy and industrial firms EPV Energia Oy, Oy Katterno Kraft Ab, Outikumpu Oyj and SSAB.
