The modern and low\u2011emission Lounavoima plant in Salo was delivered using a construction management contract. The low\u2011emission facility produces heat for local homes by converting non\u2011recyclable municipal waste into local energy using a new grate\u2011firing technology.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salo District Heating uses the energy produced at the plant for district heating. The plant\u2019s environmental permit allows a capacity of 120,000 t\/a, corresponding to approximately 44 MW. It generates 180\u2013190 GWh of district heat per year for residents in Salo, and around 62 GWh of electricity for the national grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lounavoima is owned by Lounais-Suomen J\u00e4tehuolto Oy and Salon Kaukol\u00e4mp\u00f6 Oy.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/main>\n<\/section>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
