Cities and municipalities
We offer municipalities the opportunity to be part of the energy transition without investment pressure. We arrange the planning, financing and operations, and bring the benefits to the local community and environment.
Property tax revenue:
Energy storage facilities, generation areas and data centers bring the municipality permanent property tax revenue without any investment of its own. In large consumption projects, the tax revenue can be a significant and long-term source of income for the municipality.
Investment and local vitality:
Data center and industrial projects bring construction-phase employment and permanent jobs to the region and strengthen demand for local services. A well-prepared site is often decides which municipality an investment lands in.
Waste heat and energy efficiency:
Waste heat from data centers can be directed into the district heating network, which lowers heating emissions and strengthens local energy self-sufficiency.
Security of power supply:
Battery storage and local generation support the electricity grid and improve the region's security of supply in disturbance situations.
Advancing climate goals:
Our generation and energy storage projects are a concrete step towards the municipality's carbon neutrality targets and a visible demonstration of its commitment to sustainable energy development.
Landowners
Have you thought about how you could earn additional income from the land you own? Your land could be suitable for an energy storage facility, a generation area or a consumption project, and we assess the suitability on your behalf. Usva Energia's operations are built on local presence and strong industry expertise. We are there for landowners and maintain an open dialogue about our projects.
Steady, long-term income:
Leasing land for energy projects brings stable income for years or decades ahead, with no investment of your own. In generation projects, the lease is typically also tied to production.
Take advantage of the value of your land at once:
We also purchase sites outright. We execute transactions with a preliminary agreement on the property sale and always pay the market price.
Many ways to benefit:
The same site can be suitable for several project types: a battery storage facility needs only a small area near a substation, a generation project a larger area, and a data center a strong grid connection and good access. We assess the best use for your land.
Minimal impact on land use:
Battery storage takes up little space, and in generation projects, agriculture or forestry can often continue on the surrounding land.
A local and reliable partner:
We are a Finnish company with a genuine local presence: we answer questions, communicate each stage of the project openly and handle permitting and agreements carefully from start to finish.
