Solar Power System Supports Luvata Pori’s Journey Toward Carbon Neutrality

Luvata Pori has implemented its first solar power system. The system consists of 30 solar panels and sits on the roof of the roof of the wire mill, where the energy it produces is directly fed into the plant’s electricity system.

The Luvata Pori plant consists of several buildings. The location of the solar power system installation was carefully planned, and the system was successfully installed in spring 2026. The wire mill was selected as the location due to its suitable roof structures and steady electricity consumption.

“We are now gathering user experience and monitoring the system’s energy production to support our future planning. Our goal is to install more solar systems in the future,” says Saara Koski, EQP Director at Luvata Pori.

To make the solar system and its electricity production transparent and easy to understand, the company has installed an information screen in the Central Office lobby. The screen presents the system’s output in a simple and engaging way: for example, showing how many kilometres an electric car could travel using the energy produced with solar panels.

Increasing the Use of Renewable Energy

The introduction of the solar system marks another step toward Luvata Pori’s carbon neutrality target. The company is aiming for 100% renewable energy use by 2035.

Luvata Pori is currently exploring opportunities to receive industrial electrification support, which would facilitate future investments in renewable energy. The company has previously increased its share of renewable energy by incorporating hydropower into its energy mix.

“We continuously strive to improve our operations and identify solutions that bring us closer to our carbon neutrality goal,” Koski concludes.
