Siemens and Lempäälän Energia are building an intelligent and energy self-sufficient environment. The LEMENE project is a key project of energy technology at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment.
Lempäälän Energia Ltd has signed an agreement with Siemens AG for supplying intelligent medium voltage network, network automation system and electrical storage to Marjamäki area.
Lempäälän Energia implements a self-contained smart energy system in Marjamäki, a small-scale industrial district by a highway close to Tampere. In the new operating model, operators entering the industrial area can join the decentralized energy system and also actively participate in the electricity market. The intelligent system has the ability to flexibly participate in a different markets and, if necessary, the energy system is also capable of running as an autonomous island.
- The project guarantees the sufficiency of electric power throughout the year by utilizing, among other things, renewable energy sources. It's great that now our business cooperation will deepen further. In Marjamäki, companies are offered a completely new environmentally sound operating environment, says Toni Laakso, CEO of Lempäälän Energia Ltd.
