Tornion Voima

Tornion Voima is a Finnish energy company based in Tornio, in the country's northern Lapland region. It is a subsidiary of EPV Energia Oy and forms part of the EPV Energia group. The company's core business is the production of electricity and heat through combined heat and power (CHP) generation, serving both industrial customers and municipal district heating networks. Tornion Voima owns and operates a CHP power plant and five backup boilers located on the Outokumpu Tornio Works industrial site in Röyttä, Tornio. The CHP plant produces energy-efficient combined electricity and thermal energy for the Outokumpu Tornio Works steel plant and for the Tornio area district heating network. The backup boilers, fuelled by natural gas and coke oven gas, provide additional energy for the steel plant and backup heat for the district heating network when needed. In addition, the company owns heat boiler plants in the Pirkkiö district of Tornio and at the Outokumpu Chrome Kemi mine, which supply thermal energy to the Tornio area and Kemi mine district heating networks. The company's fuel mix includes milled peat, coke oven gas and biofuels, reflecting its role in utilising both industrial by-products and renewable energy sources. In 2025, Tornion Voima commissioned a 43-megawatt gas engine power plant, described as Finland's first modern engine power plant. This facility provides fast-starting, flexible generation capacity to the electricity system, strengthening security of supply particularly when weather-dependent production is insufficient or when the electricity market requires rapid balancing power. Tornion Voima operates in the Finnish energy market, with its activities concentrated in the Tornio and Kemi regions of northern Finland. Its operations are closely tied to the industrial ecosystem around Outokumpu's stainless steel and chrome operations, making it a key energy partner for one of Finland's major industrial clusters. The company also engages in seasonal recruitment, offering summer jobs at its Tornio power plant.
