I just picked up a communication project for CLEEN (Cluster for Environment and ENergy) a new front end for all the Finnish companies in these areas. The aim is to establish multidisciplinary research programs in specific areas, like a next generation reciprocating engine, smart grids, sustainable fuel chains - but as yet nothing on wind, although some of the Finnish companies like The Switch are involved in some programs.

I don't really understand why Finland is not putting more into wind. Even if Finland is not the best location for wind power, Finish industry is well equipped for supplying a lot of the advanced technology. And if the skills and locations exist to build the world's largest cruise ships, they also exist to build the turbine mounting structures.

I'm slowly getting through all the basic research information. It's very interesting.
