The Piipsa project is run by Piipsan Tuulivoima oy. The zoning plan and construction permits are legally binding.
The project area is located in the eastern part of the town of Haapavesi, bordering the municipal boundaries of Kärsämäki and Siikalatva.
The aggregate needed to build the wind park is to be mined from the Siikaniemi area. The EIA process on the aggregate used in the project was conducted in 2021–2022. In November 2022, ELY issued a reasoned conclusion on the EIA report.
Power transmission will be implemented via Fingrid’s substation of Pihtineva. This is the same substation that is used in the Tuulikaarto wind power project in the Siikalatva and Kärsämäki areas.
