Helsinki has officially closed its last coal power plant, cutting the city’s carbon emissions by 30 percent and marking a key milestone in Finland’s green transition.
“Energy production is no longer be based on fossil fuels in Helsinki,” the company says. “Helen’s investments in carbon-neutral production, such as Europe’s largest electric boiler plant and the world’s largest heat pump, have enabled Helen to move away from coal completely.
Instead, Helsinki’s heating is now distributed across several technologies. Helen has invested in electric boilers, heat pumps, energy storage and sustainably sourced bioenergy. Key installations include Europe’s largest electric boiler and the world’s largest heat pump, both used to harness waste and environmental heat.
The sustainable heat production of Helsinki is built on multiple sources that are based on a flexible district heating network. The water flowing in the district heating network can be heated in countless different ways.
