About Lounavoima
Lounavoima Oy operates a waste-to-energy plant in Salo, Finland, which converts unrecyclable municipal waste into district heat and electricity. Its fuel is unrecyclable mixed waste from the operating area of Lounais-Suomen Jätehuolto Oy and other waste within the plant's environmental permit, with a fuel capacity of 46.2 MW and up to 135,000 tonnes of waste burned per year.
The company is owned by Lounais-Suomen Jätehuolto Oy and Salon Kaukolämpö Oy and operates on a cost-price basis, providing services to its shareholders at cost.
