Moreover, this plant will operate entirely on electricity, eliminating the need for fuel transportation and contributing to a cleaner energy future.

“The Sand Battery will significantly reduce the combustion-based energy used in our district heating network, and the collaboration with Tulikivi has added a valuable circular economy aspect to this project,” said Mikko Paajanen, Loviisan Lämpö CEO, in the press release.

Loviisan Lämpö company is a district heating provider for Loviisa, Pukkila, Pornainen, Pyhtää Siltakylä, Pyhtää village center, and Lappohja.

This innovative approach reduces waste and promotes a circular economy.
