Energy Equilibrium project nears completion in Finland

The Energy Equilibrium project has been presented on several different platforms and at various events in Finland. During 2025, Thermopolis has been involved in organizing events at which the results of the project have been presented. In the spring, a seminar was held in connection with the climate trip of representatives from municipalities in South Ostrobothnia, which was attended by representatives from six municipalities. The Energy Equilibrium platform was also presented at a meeting of the Ostrobothnia Leader group in the summer of 2025. In the fall of 2025, Thermopolis presented the project at energy evening events organized in the municipalities of Alavus and Kauhava in the Ostrobothnia region.

The public was invited to the energy evening event in Alavus through newspaper advertisements, electronic communication channels and emails. The evening’s program in Future Energy Solutions Seminar included expert presentations on energy storage and renewable energy. The material produced in the Energy Equilibrium project and the Energy Equilibrium Platform were also on display. The event was attended by more than 20 participants from nearby municipalities who were interested in future energy solutions. The themes of the Energy Equilibrium project were also presented at the next energy evening at the village house in the municipality of Kauhava on December 2, 2025, which was attended by approximately 30 participants.

The project stakeholders in finland and other Thermopolis partners were invited to events organized during the Energy Equilibrium project. These included the final seminar organized by Riga Teechnical University in the autumn of 2025, which was held in Riga, Latvia, on October 8-9, 2025, and the Energy Equilibrium Discussions event on November 20, 2025. The theme of the first day of the final seminar was an event common to all participants, including remote participants, entitled “Shaping the future of regional energy: from renewable energy sources to climate neutrality.” The seminar focused on pathways towards climate neutrality and the integration of renewable energy at the municipal level. Topics included synergies between wind and hydrogen, and identified best practices from municipalities in the Baltic Sea region. The program also included innovative technologies, recent political developments related to emissions and emissions trading, etc. In addition, the roadmap for the transition to renewable energy was discussed, and a practical workshop was organized at the event, where participants had the opportunity to try out the Energy Equilibrium planning platform to support local energy strategies.

Regional Steering Group was also invited to the Baltic District Heating Innovation Forum 2025 event held in Gdańsk, Poland, on November 6, 2025. This was a one-day expert meeting focusing on the future of district heating systems in the Baltic Sea region. The seminar was organized in a hybrid format. The forum covered topics such as waste heat utilization and storage, district heating digitalization, pipeline monitoring and renovation, etc. Also the Energy Equilibrium project and calculation tool have been featured on the project website and in other electronic communications, such as Facebook.

The progress of the project at regional level in Finland is monitored by the Regional Stakeholder Group, which consists of representatives of municipalities and energy technology companies in the South Ostrobothnia region, has been informed about the progress of the project through meetings and mails and has been regularly invited to participate in project workshops. The project’s regional stakeholders also aim to continue actively communicating about energy storage and the development of future energy technology solutions at the municipal level.
