Electricity

Wärtsilä uses electricity in its manufacturing operations – for example, in machining components – and in service workshops and offices. Both the electrical and the heat energy generated during engine test runs can be utilized. Wärtsilä’s aim is to use the electrical energy for its own purposes while also selling part of this electrical energy to a local power company. Due to the nature of engine test runs, the production of electricity and the company’s electricity demand are not equivalent; this allows the surplus energy to be sold to a local power company.
