Located in the municipality of Eurajoki in the Satakunta region on Finland's west coast, the solar farm is built, owned and operated by Alight and adds new renewable electricity generation to the grid under a long-term virtual power purchase agreement (PPA) with Autoliv. For Autoliv, the agreement supports its transition to renewable electricity in the EMEA region, strengthens long-term energy resilience, and contributes to the company’s ambition to achieve carbon-neutral own operations by 2030.
The project is the first commissioned in Alight's rapidly growing Finnish portfolio. Alight's solar and storage pipeline in the country already exceeds 1 GW, and the Eurajoki park alone adds 12 percent to Finland's entire utility-scale solar capacity, which stood at 842 MWp across 45 parks at the end of June 2026, according to Renewables Finland.
The facility is expected to generate around 100 GWh of renewable electricity annually, equivalent to the consumption of approximately 20,000 households. It is connected to the Finnish electricity system through Caruna’s network via a shared substation.
“Today's inauguration is an important milestone for Alight in Finland and a strong example of what long-term partnerships can achieve” said Warren Campbell, CEO at Alight. “Together with Autoliv, we have brought one of Finland's largest solar parks into operation, adding new renewable electricity to the grid and helping demonstrate the role solar can play in the Finnish energy system.”
Long-term corporate PPAs such as this one are becoming an increasingly common route for businesses to secure predictable energy costs while helping bring new renewable capacity to the grid. For Autoliv, the agreement is part of a broader, global climate strategy across its operations.
“At Autoliv, sustainability is integrated into everything we do” added Kaisa Tarna-Mani, Vice President Sustainability at Autoliv. “We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations while continuing to deliver world-class safety products to our customers. By supporting the development of new renewable electricity generation through this PPA, we are taking another important step toward achieving carbon neutrality in our own operations by 2030, and at the same time strengthening the resilience a of our energy supply.”
The Eurajoki Solar Park is made up of two distinct sites, brought together as a single energy asset and linked to a shared substation. The two-site design has allowed the project's environmental protection measures to be tailored to local conditions at each location. One site’s biodiversity plan includes habitat restoration and improved wetland edges, while a new pond has been created at the other site to support the surrounding ecosystem.
The inauguration brought together representatives from Alight, Autoliv, politicians, local stakeholders, grid partners, financiers and project partners to mark the park’s entry into operation. The project was made possible through 46 million euros of senior debt from banks ABN AMRO and SEB.
