INTERSTORES Project role

Vantaa Energy is planning to build the world’s largest seasonal thermal energy storage in Vantaa. The storage would allow waste heat and surplus heat from waste-to-energy to be stored during the summer when heating demand is low and used during winter frosts when heating demand is high. Resource efficiency will increase through the use of waste heat. 

About 90 % of Vantaa residents live in homes connected to heating network and therefore the stored heat can be easily transported to the residents.
