In cooperation with local universities and research institutes, new technologies are being developed and the efficiency and environmental friendliness of existing technologies are being improved.
Vacant plots for Finland's energy industry
Our region has plenty of vacant industrial plots and areas for the energy industry.
We have a strong electricity grid, which is ideal for promoting hydrogen projects, and the annual amount of solar radiation is good for solar energy production.
Renewable energy
The Kotka-Hamina region is at the forefront of renewable energy development in Finland. We're taking advantage of our area's strategic location to develop renewable energy production and work with local schools. The region's energy production potential is based on three types of renewable energy: solar power, wind power, and synthetic and biofuels.
