- Total budget €828, European Union contribution €144
- General and station zoning of solar parks
- The Ministry of the Environment has granted funding to Imatra to promote green transition investment projects in the general and site planning of solar parks. The project lasts until 11/2024.
- The goal of the project is to site plan areas suitable for a total of 300-500 MWp solar power plants in the city of Imatra, both in city and privately owned areas. The 110 kV main grid connection of the solar parks is to be carried out to the switch stations near the areas. The goal of the project is to site plan about three areas suitable for solar power plants.
- Based on preliminary reviews, suitable areas have been assessed as areas with weak forestry use and they are estimated to increase security of supply and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The preliminary areas are located around the city of Imatra. The selection of areas will be refined as the project progresses. Once the more specific areas have been selected, the goal is to start their site zoning.
- DNSH surveys of solar parks
- The Ministry of the Environment has granted funding to Imatra for DNSH surveys related to solar parks to promote green transition investment projects. The project is related to the general and site planning of Imatra's solar parks, where DNSH surveys are carried out for selected site plan sites. The project will be completed in connection with site plan preparations for the sites in November 2024 at the latest.
- The DNSH assessment (Do No Significant Harm) ensures that the project financed by the recovery and recovery support instrument does not cause harm to the following environmental goals:
- mitigation of climate change
- adaptation to climate change
- sustainable use and protection of water resources and natural resources of the seas
- transition to a circular economy
- preventing and reducing environmental pollution
- protection and restoration of biological diversity and ecosystems.
- Hydrogen, Flow South East
- It is a green transition project, the purpose of which is to promote the location of renewable energy and hydrogen economy projects in Eastern and Southeastern Finland. Four southeastern Finnish municipalities and LUT University are involved in the project.
- Imatra participates in the project by mapping potential location areas for the hydrogen industry at Imatra. The work focuses on mapping potential sites, selecting project sites, and preparing target cards and presentation materials that can be handed over to companies and investors in the hydrogen industry.
- The project will last until the end of 2023.
