EPV Energy
EPV Energy is a leader in emission-free energy generation. We are aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030.
Energy at production cost price
EPV Energy generates and acquires electricity and heat for its shareholders, i.e. Finnish energy companies. EPV Energy has over 70 years of experience in responsible energy generation. We focus on emission-free and reliable energy generation with determination and purpose. At EPV Energy, we have greatly improved our range of energy generation, resulting in significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. We aim to achieve carbon-neutral electricity generation by 2030.
EPV Energy is a leader in emission-free energy generation, for example in utilising wind power and domestic forest energy. In line with our strategy, we will continue our determined efforts to achieve zero-emission energy generation also in the future.
In 2023, the Group’s total power procurement was 4.8 terawatt-hours. This corresponds to 6% of the total electricity consumed in Finland. Last year, a larger proportion of energy than ever was generated emission-free.
We produce and supply energy for our shareholders at production cost price, meaning that we do not try to make a profit. This is known in Finland as the Mankala principle and it enables extensive energy projects, while ensuring low production costs.
