Forus is planning a solar park in Laviassuo, Heinola

The power plant would produce approximately 50 gigawatt-hours of renewable electricity annually. This would be equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 25,000 apartment units.

The construction work for the power plant is anticipated to commence in the years 2025-2026.

General information

Forus Ltd is planning a solar power park in the Laviassuo area of Heinola. The project area covers approximately 75 hectares, with an estimated annual production of about 50 GWh for the solar power plant.

The aim is to develop solar power in the most responsible manner. This involves continuous consideration of biodiversity and advancing carbon neutrality goals. The project's funding, technical planning, and construction are overseen by the Finnish project company of the Danish Better Energy. The company will also remain the owner of the power plant and be responsible for electricity production and sales.

Location
