Saku-Matti Mäki, Head of Solar Power, OX2 Finland and the Baltics said of the project, "The Huittinen project is an excellent addition to our solar project development portfolio, and the project shows that Finland is very well positioned to become a forerunner in large-scale solar power in Northern Europe. Solar power has potential to make a considerable contribution to the emissions-free electricity in Finland."

Other than the said Huittinen project, OX2's project portfolio in Finland is inclusive of two solar power projects in Kauhajoki and Loimaa. OX2 has been looking at the development of solar power since 2018. At the end of 2022, the firm boasted of a cumulative 4 GW of solar power in the project development portfolio.
