Locally Produced Heat
In the Vaasa area, 80% of the district heating is produced from renewable energy and waste energy.
We are continuously renewing our production. Our goal is to achieve carbon neutrality across all our operations by the end of this decade.
How We Produce District Heating:
From Wastewater: We recover heat from wastewater at the Pått wastewater treatment plant. Annually, this can generate 60 gigawatt-hours of heat, enough for about 2,000 single-family homes. Heat stored in wastewater is considered renewable energy.
From the Thermal Heat Storage: When there is lots of cheap wind power available, it is used to heat water stored in the Vaskiluoto rock cavern heat storage in Vaasa, which can later on be used to heat district-heated properties.
From Waste: About half of our district heating is produced at Westenergy’s waste-to-energy plant in Korsholm (Mustasaari).
Electric boilers: The combination of electric boilers and the thermal storage at the Vaskiluoto power plant in Vaasa enhances energy production efficiency while reducing emissions from district heating production.
