The transaction was subject to a review by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment in Finland regarding foreign corporate acquisitions. Approval was granted on 22 June 2026, and the transaction has now completed.<\/p>\n<p>This was a share transaction, meaning that Tornionlaakson Voima will continue operating as a company. The company\u2019s responsibilities and obligations remain unchanged, with Downing assuming ownership responsibility. Daily operations continue as normal and the transaction does not affect customers. Downing will continue to operate the business following completion.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-12 snk-textColumn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textBlock\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Henrik Dahlstr\u00f6m, Senior Investment Director at Downing, comments:<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cWe are pleased to complete the acquisition of Tornionlaakson Voima, an excellent complement to our existing 30 MW windfarm in Konttisuo in Ostrobothnia, Finland.
