Adven and Sastamalan Lämpö continue collaboration in district heating production
Adven Oy and Sastamalan Lämpö Oy have extended their agreement for district heating production. The updated partnership agreement ensures environmentally friendly and competitive district heating production in the center of Sastamala, Finland.
Sastamalan Lämpö, responsible for district heating distribution in the Vammala area, is 80% owned by the city of Sastamala, with Adven holding a 20% stake. Adven produces all the district heating required by Sastamalan Lämpö, with approximately 95% of it generated from locally sourced bio-based and renewable fuels. In addition to district heating, Adven produces steam energy for local industry. The production process also makes use of by-products from local industries.
Adven and the city of Sastamala have been working together on energy projects since 1999. Over the course of this collaboration, Adven has, for example, invested in a flue gas heat recovery system, which converts waste heat from flue gases into district heating. Additionally, Adven has built a boiler that uses domestic renewable and solid fuels, as well as new steam pipelines.
In the future, the aim is to further develop energy production by incorporating smart solutions and automation, as well as exploring electricity-based production. Adven also focuses on improving energy efficiency by optimizing heat distribution and minimizing waste heat.
Thanks to the updated agreement, customers in the region will continue to receive reliable, environmentally friendly, and competitively priced district heating.
“This agreement stabilizes the development of district heating prices and enables investments to ensure reliable operations” says Jarkko Malmberg, Mayor of the city of Sastamala.
“Long-term partnerships and cooperation with cities are at the core of Adven’s operations. I’m very pleased that we have earned the trust of the city of Sastamala and can continue our partnership journey that has already lasted for 25 years. A big thanks goes to our professional staff,” says Eero Siltalehto, Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions and Partnerships at Adven.
