Detail description
Pohjanmaan Biolämpö Ltd. began its business as a small sawmill in 1995. Heat energy needed for the mill and, on the other hand, different side streams of the sawmill, gave a positive impact to develop the company’s energy production. As a result, they started supplying solid biomass fuels to other heat stations nearby. The first own heat plant was built in 2005.
While heat energy business kept growing, the company decided to give up the sawmill production and focus merely on biomass fuel procurement and sales, and management of a couple of small heat stations. As a natural continuation to the company’s growth, a new much larger heat plant was established in the town of Alavus in 2014.
Nowadays Pohjanmaan Biolämpö operates three heat stations and provides solid biomass fuels for twelve other plants in Ostrobothnia. The main customers include greenhouse farmers in Närpiö county and municipal buildings and small industries in Alavus.
