Helen Clarifies Its Organisational Structure
Starting from 1 September, Helen will implement changes to clarify its organisational structure. With the new structure, the New Businesses and Hydrogen unit will transition from a profit-responsible business to a corporate function, and Energy Portfolio Management will be clearly separated into its own function. These changes support the implementation of Helen’s strategy and guide the company toward a non-combustion future. The core pillars of Helen’s strategy—clean transition, flexibility, and profitability—remain central to operations.
The new organisation will take effect on 1 September. The changes affect the New Businesses and Hydrogen unit and Energy Portfolio Management. As part of the reorganisation, the New Businesses and Hydrogen unit will move from being a profit-responsible business to a corporate function.
“The large-scale commercial launch of the hydrogen market appears to be delayed. It is important that the unit can now fully focus on building the pilot plant and developing new business opportunities,” explains CEO Olli Sirkka.
Energy Portfolio Management will be clearly separated into its own function. Harri Mattila will serve as the director of both Electricity Production and Energy Portfolio Management. Niko Wirgentius will continue as the head of the Energy Portfolio Management unit.
“From the beginning, the goal of energy system optimisation has been to maximise the flexibility of operations by balancing Helen’s profit fluctuations and increasing profitability. This change aims to clarify the role of optimisation as the driver of energy trading results and flexibility across the Helen Group,” says Olli Sirkka.
These organisational changes will not affect the composition of Helen’s executive team.
