The Switch has just achieved more than 1600 MW of installed capacity for wind turbine power generation, built in only three years. This installed capacity matches that of the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant, on the west coast of Finland, which has taken already four years to build and is still under construction.

As the world seeks to produce 20% of its power by renewable energy, a concern will be how quickly new capacity can be fully up and running. Wind and solar power change the game in the power production industry, since they offer the possibility to bring new capacity online fast.

The Switch has won a number of major new customers in China and Europe, with orders worth tens of millions of euros already received.

“We have gained a number of new customers in China and Europe, who have already placed significant orders with us. Permanent magnet generators and power converters have demonstrated their benefits and become the preferred basic solution in new wind turbine models,” says Jukka-Pekka Mäkinen, CEO of The Switch.
