Background
The Hanasaari A power plant was built in 1960–1967. It was decommissioned in 2000 and dismantled in 2008.[1][2] There is an experimental documentary Hanasaari A by Hannes Vartiainen and Pekka Veikkolainen.[3]
Hanasaari B power plant was built next to Hanasaari A, and was commissioned in 1974 to 1977. Hanasaari B is a coal-fired cogeneration plant producing electricity and heat. The output capacity of the plant is 228 MW of electricity and 445 MW of heat.[4]
In 2014–2018, Helsingin Energia plans to convert Hanasaari B for combustion of biomass.[5] The biomass furnace is being set up alongside one of the existing coal units, which will be kept in reserve in case of emergency.[4] The coal plant will be decommissioned by 2025.[5]
