Neoen Renewables Finland Oy is planning a wind farm in the Marjakeitaan planning area of ​​Honkajoki. On December 7, 2020, the Kankaanpää and Honkajoki Association Board decided to approve the zoning initiative submitted by Neoen and to initiate the preparation of a wind power sub-general plan for the Marjakeitaan area.

The Marjakeitaan planning area is located in the northern part of the current Kankaanpää, approximately 4 km northwest of the Honkajoki settlement. The planning area initially covers an area of ​​approximately 2900 hectares. The area will be specified as the planning process progresses. The construction of a maximum of 24 new wind turbines is planned for the planning area. The total height of the planned turbines is a maximum of approximately 275 meters.

The partial master plan will be prepared in such a way that it can be used as a basis for building permits for wind turbines in accordance with Section 77 a of the Finnish Land Use and Development Act. An environmental impact assessment procedure will be carried out in connection with the plan project. The partial master plan will be drawn up with legal effect and approved by the Kankaanpää City Council.

The aim of the planning of the partial master plan is to implement the construction of the wind farm taking into account the characteristics and environmental impacts of the natural environment and to mitigate any harmful impacts that may arise from the construction. In addition, the aim of the partial master plan is to take into account other land use needs in the area and the objectives that are formed during the planning process.

The partial master plan for the Marjakeitaan wind farm has progressed to the proposal stage and the Kankaanpää City Council decided on October 6, 2025 to put the draft partial master plan for the Marjakeitaan wind farm on display from October 27, 2025 to November 28, 2025.

The Karvianjoki Rapids Natura area (FI0200130) is located to the east of the Berry Grove project area and partly within the project area. The area has been included in the Natura 2000 network as an area in accordance with the Habitats Directive. A Natura assessment has been prepared for the project in accordance with Section 35 of the Nature Conservation Act. The Natura assessment examines the impacts of the project on the conservation values, ecological structure and integrity of the Karvianjoki Rapids (FI0200130 SAC) Natura area.
