Background

Heinola power station was commissioned in 1984 by Stora Enso Oyj.

In 2019, Finland approved a ban on coal for energy use starting in 2029. This could be the proposed retirement date for the plant.

As of Q3 2023, coal reportedly only represented 5% of Stora Enso's total fuel consumption. The company was burning majority biomass.
