The Oulun Energia energy centre, completed in connection with the smart campus, is part of the overall optimisation. Through the service, we optimise the campus’ cooling production requirements cost-effectively and the carbon-neutral waste heat produced by this is recovered and put to optimal use.

“Multi-energy optimisation is an excellent example of collaboration between companies that can achieve benefits both locally and nationally. The introduction of the service is a natural extension of the energy centre construction agreement previously announced by Oulun Energia and Nokia,” states Reijo Pantsar, Head of VPP Business at Oulun Energia.

The service ensures that device flexibility is channelled to the most favourable market, creating new revenue and cost savings for the customer. At the same time, we support and balance the entire Finnish electricity system.

“The collaboration with Oulun Energia has been seamless. We consider it important that our systems support not only product development but also wider applications—such as in demand response markets, the utilisation of which has marked a significant advance,” shares Teppo Särö, Head of Project Delivery at Nokia.
