Insta delivers the electricity distribution solutions for Fortum Power and Heat Oy's hydrogen production pilot plant

ElectrificationCritical infrastructureGreen transition

Insta will deliver a substation solution to Fortum's Kalla pilot plant, which produces hydrogen through electrolysis.

Fortum Power and Heat Oy is building a hydrogen production test plant in the Källa area of Loviisa. Construction of the plant started in summer 2024 and the plant is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Insta Automation will be responsible for the electricity distribution for the Kalla pilot plant. Insta will supply a modular substation solution including electrolysis distribution transformers, the plant's self-loading transformer, medium-voltage transformer, PJ centres and DCS system for the automation centres in the substation. Our goal is to manage the entire electrical distribution of the pilot plant reliably and efficiently.

The pilot plant will produce hydrogen by electrolysis. Hydrogen produced using renewable electricity can serve as an alternative to fossil fuels and fossil-based raw materials in industries such as steel and fertilizer production. The project will provide valuable information on the design of larger-scale hydrogen production plants and support the evaluation of future hydrogen production opportunities.

Insta participates in Fortum’s world-class projects by delivering electrification to plants reusing waste heat from data centers in Espoo and Kirkkonummi

Technology company Insta and its subsidiary Mattila Porvoo will provide process electricity and instrumentation installations to Fortum’s heat pump plants. The heat pump plants are related to a globally unique project executed together with Microsoft for recovering waste heat from data centers. Following the project, the data centers will cover approximately 40% of the local district heating customers’ heating needs.

Smooth and secure – Insta and Fortum create a solution for secure, collaboration-enhancing tools in nuclear projects

In nuclear projects there is simply no room for compromised cyber security. On the other hand, the flow of data between many stakeholders in the complex ecosystem must be made as unobstructed as possible – while also adhering to laws and regulations. Technology company Insta and Fortum have been doing joint research to meet these seemingly conflicting goals.

A pioneer in the final disposal of nuclear fuel trusts Insta

Posiva has been developing a solution for the final disposal of nuclear fuel for more than 40 years and excavates deposition tunnels at a depth of 400–450 m underground. Soon, unmanned vehicles will move inside the tunnels and transport uranium assemblies encapsulated in a copper canister. The expert organization is the first in the world to start final disposal operations, and it relies on Insta in automation. Insta participates in the project in many ways – most importantly via the automation systems that it delivers.
