History
Ilmatar Energy oy is a Finnish energy company. Its name is borrowed from the goddess of air, Ilmatar, in the Finnish national epic Kalevala. The company began with wind power in 2011 and was founded by Kalle Pykälä and Mikko Toivanen, making it one of the first players in the sector in Finland. Its first project was launched at the end of 2011. Between 2012 and 2018, it developed its operations and shaped its role as the market evolved. In 2013, it became the first Finnish company to secure project financing for a wind power project without a parent company guarantee. In 2014, it established Ilmatar Service, and its collaboration with Électricité de France (EDF) on co-development projects in Finland began. In 2018, it partnered with Omnes Capital, leading to the creation of the joint venture Ilmatar Energy; the same year, it acquired the rights to the Piiparinmäki project from Metsähallitus. In 2019, it expanded its direction and moved beyond its previous role.
