Resilientia Oy is participating in an energy community project coordinated by the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), which is focused on the village of Veikkaala in Mustasaari. The project has received funding from the EU and the Ostrobothnia Centre for Regional Vitality.
The project brings a new era of energy communities to Finland and strengthens local security of supply. Its aim is to develop a scalable operating model for establishing local energy communities – a solution that combines distributed energy production, communal ownership and crisis resilience. At the same time, it promotes new types of energy solutions, such as agrivoltaics technology, small-scale hydrogen production and preparedness planning, which combine low‑carbon operation, efficient land use and local energy self‑sufficiency. The project will analyze the effects of the new Electricity Market Act on the emergence of energy communities, pilot innovative energy technologies and build a concrete model for practical implementation of an energy community. The end result will be an operating model that supports both the green transition and national security of supply and paves the way for the launch of Finland’s first regional energy community. The project’s target groups are local residents, the village association, farms, businesses and the municipality. The model and lessons learned will be widely applicable in other areas. The implementation period is 9/2025–12/2027.
