Energy storage opportunity Savon Voima has recently signed a deal with Merus Power to deploy a 5 MW / 10 MWh battery energy storage system in Kuopio, indicating openness to energy storage partnerships and ancillary services to optimize grid stability and renewable integration.

Heat pump expansion The company is expanding heat pump capacity in Joensuu, including commissioning a new heat pump plant, signaling a push into energy-efficient heating solutions. This presents cross-sell potential for smart controls, maintenance services, and heat pump optimization offerings.

Integrated energy mix With in-house generation from hydro and cogeneration facilities and a broad distribution footprint across North Savo and adjacent regions, Savon Voima could benefit from bundled energy management solutions, demand response programs, and distributed energy resource optimization services.

Digital enablement The tech stack includes data analytics and customer-facing platforms (Spark, Qlik, Hotjar, Cookiebot, SendGrid, Shopify, P365). This suggests receptiveness to advanced analytics, customer engagement enhancements, and digital service platforms for enrollment, billing, and energy efficiency programs.

Growth through services As a regional utility with diverse services (electricity transmission, production, district heating, and customer services) and ongoing asset investments, there are opportunities to upsell maintenance contracts, resilience and reliability services, and energy advisory offerings to municipal and industrial customers.
