Finnish hybrid thermal power plants to support the modernisation of Ukraine's energy system
Thermal Storage Finland and several Ukrainian municipalities and universities have signed letters of intent for five hybrid thermal power plants. The project will support the modernisation of Ukraine’s heating infrastructure and strengthen the reliability of critical buildings.
Supplied by power plants represent a new phase in the modernisation of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Modern Finnish technology enables heat to be produced quickly and reliably, even in situations where the traditional heating network is not operational. The project aims to strengthen local self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on old fuel-based solutions.
“Ukraine’s energy system needs solutions that can be deployed quickly and that will last well into the future” says Janne Ritakoski, CEO of Thermal Storage Finland.
The hybrid thermal power plant developed by Thermal Storage Finland produces CO₂-free energy and offers a quick, fail-safe way to upgrade heating systems without heavy structural modifications. The solution can provide heat to critical sites and reduce dependence on conventional fuels. Similar power plants have attracted growing interest across Europe, including Norway, Slovakia and Germany, where new, sustainable solutions to the energy crisis are being explored.
Responsible for the logistical planning of the project Niemi Services Oy. Director Esa Niemi has been actively involved in promoting the preparation of power plant deliveries. This cooperation is an important part of the overall process of Finnish companies contributing their know-how to support Ukraine’s modernisation. ‘It has been interesting to visit the diverse projects underway in Ukraine and at the same time to discuss new opportunities for Niemi’s overseas operations’, says Esa Niemi.
