Vuosaari power plants
The combined power plants in Vuosaari produce electricity and district heating from natural gas. The Vuosaari power plant includes also a 260 MW bioenergy plant, which was commissioned in 2022. Its main fuel is wood chips obtained as a by-product of forestry that cannot be utilised in other ways. In addition, Vuosaari is home to a heat pump commissioned in 2022, which uses seawater and waste heat from the power plants as heat sources. The output of the heat pump is 12 MW.
