Finnish energy company Fortum has announced the permanent closure of the Meri-Pori coal-fired power plant, marking the end of coal power generation in Finland. The plant had been under the operational control of the Finnish Security of Supply Centre for recent years. During this period, it did not produce electricity for commercial use, only undergoing test runs. The closure aligns with Finland’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to cleaner energy sources. Fortum’s decision signifies a complete exit from coal power within the country. The plant’s future use has not been specified, but it will no longer contribute to the national electricity grid. This move represents a significant step towards Finland’s climate goals and a broader European trend away from fossil fuels.
