Matti Manner promoted to Vice President, Nordics

Korkia has promoted Matti Manner to Vice President, Nordics. In his new role, Matti is responsible for Korkia’s investment strategy and activities across the Nordic markets.

Matti joined Korkia in February 2023 and has previously worked as Investment Director Nordics. As Vice President, Nordics, he is responsible for Korkia’s Finnish and Swedish portfolios, which consist of over 1,500 MW of solar, 490 MW of wind and 1,650 MW of battery energy storage (BESS) in Finland, and 200 MW of solar and 280 MW of BESS in Sweden.

Several powered land for data centers projects are also in progess in both countries.

“The Nordic energy market is changing fast. Electricity demand is growing, and the integration of renewable energy and new consumption is imperative for sustainable development. I look forward to working with our portfolio companies and partners to turn our solar, wind, battery storage and powered land assets into long-term value for our investors,” says Matti Manner.

Before joining Korkia, Matti worked for 15 years at Fortum in roles within renewable energy and the City Solutions business, as well as in the Fortum Group strategy department. He started at Korkia as Director, Joint Venture Management, developing assets together with Korkia’s joint venture partners in several countries. His core expertise includes project development, M&A, and business planning. Matti holds a Master of Science in Energy Technology and Energy Economics.

Finland and Sweden are entering a new investment cycle. Electricity demand is growing, data center demand is arriving and deal activity is shifting toward operating assets. This puts grid access, flexibility and development expertise at the center of the investment opportunity.
