Solar power

First, news about solar power.

A record number of new solar power plants are being built in Finland.

For the first time, more solar power is being built than wind power. It is not worth building new wind turbines because exchange-traded electricity is too cheap.

Turku shipyard

Turku Shipyard is building 2 new cruise ships.

The order has been placed by Royal Caribbean, which has previously ordered 5 giant cruise ships from Turku.

Amusement parks

Amusement park wristbands cost almost the same as last summer.

For example, in Särkänniemi and Linnanmäki, a wristband costs a little over 50 euros. In other amusement parks, a wristband often costs around 50 euros.
