Mika Manninen has lead Welado's green transition business since November 2024. He is responsible for building a team of around ten environmental and nature experts to meet our clients' environmental assessment and permitting needs for various projects having to do with renewable energy, such as wind, solar, and biogas throughout their life cycle.
Solar energy is a promising and rapidly growing field. As we strive to harness the power of the sun, we must also consider the potential impacts of solar installations on our environment and communities. One such impact is the phenomenon of glint and glare, which can arise from the reflective surfaces of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. Read more!
The Nordic region, with its pristine landscapes and innovative spirit, is witnessing a surge in the adoption of renewable energy technologies. Among these, Photovoltaic (PV) rooftop solar systems are not just a symbol of environmental stewardship but also a testament to financial acumen. This blog post delves deep into the ways PV rooftop solar can bolster the Net Present Value (NPV) and Return on Investment (ROI) for investors in these countries.
Finland is a country that has set ambitious goals for its energy transition. The Nordic nation wants to be completely carbon neutral by 2035 and has built a lot of onshore wind in the past ten years. However, Finland also has a huge potential for offshore wind, which has been largely untapped until recently. In this article, I will explore the benefits and challenges of developing offshore wind farms in Finland, and why this renewable source could be a game-changer for the country's energy system.
Imagine a world where we can produce more food and more energy on the same land, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing biodiversity. A world where farmers can diversify their income and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. A world where consumers can enjoy high-quality food and clean electricity at affordable prices. This is the world that agri solar can create. Read more!
Finland is a country that has set ambitious climate goals, aiming to reach carbon neutrality by 2035 and to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 90-95% by 2050. To achieve these targets, Finland is relying on a mix of energy sources that includes nuclear, hydro, wind, solar and bioenergy. In this article, we will focus on the renewable energy sector in Finland, especially on the potential of hybrid systems that combine wind and solar power.
Welado's determined, responsible, and human-centered journey towards becoming the most sought-after expert platform in the Nordics continues with Noora Haverinen assuming the position of CEO of Welado Group Ltd. Haverinen will start as the CEO of Welado on May 1, 2024.
In recent years, the embrace of renewable energy sources has propelled the popularity of photovoltaic (PV) solar systems. While their benefits in sustainability and energy efficiency are undeniable, the safety aspects in their design and installation are often underestimated. Ignoring safety measures in the design phase can lead to catastrophic consequences, ranging from under performance to structural and electrical hazards. Here’s why prioritizing safety in PV solar system design is paramount.
Finland is among the first EU countries to equip long railway connections with digitalised systems of the future based on 4G and 5G technologies. On the Finnish scale, Digirail is an unprecedented development project that aims to develop and implement a modern train control system for railways.
eNPS (or employee Net Promoter Score) indicates how likely members of staff would recommend their employer to a friend. Studies conducted by Glassdoor have also indicated that companies on the Best Places to Work list perform at 115 % when compared to the market average
“In previous projects, we have already used materials such as replaced balises for spare parts as their cost effect is significant. After risk assessment and brainstorming by Welado, recycling efforts have expanded to include the reuse of cabinets and signal masts. It is great that our partner is actively thinking about the reuse of materials,” says Miikka Uotila from the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency
MB Funds acquires a majority share of Welado, but in a manner that also grows the number of Welado people who have a share in the company
STHK, the leading railway signalling consultancy in Sweden, has chosen Welado, the market leader of infrastructure construction management in Finland, to be it’s new home base.
