An effortless and reliable form of heating

Affordable price

Connecting to district heating does not require expensive investments. Price trends are stable and predictable, thanks to the renewable fuel we use. 

A worry-free choice

Connecting to district heating is quick and effortless, and the customer does not need to worry about complex equipment. Heat is produced at power plants and delivered to customers via pipes.

Reliable and dependable

District heating is a reliable and dependable form of heating that ensures consistent warmth, even during severe cold spells. Service interruptions are extremely rare.

A local alternative

Despite its name, district heating is produced nearby. In our region, district heating is generated from renewable wood-based fuel—primarily residues from forest management.

District heating is locally produced

Contrary to what the name might suggest, our district heating is produced locally. Heat generated at power plants is piped to customers in the Kerava and Sipoo areas in the form of hot water.

District heating warms home radiators and provides domestic hot water. The cooled water then returns to the power plant to be reheated. Because waste heat—which is generated during electricity production anyway—can be utilized for district heating, it is a more environmentally friendly and sustainable choice. Without district heating, the heat generated during electricity production would simply be lost as waste heat.
