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 by clean electricity can replace fossil fuels and raw materials in many industries, such as steel and fertilizer production. The project will support Finland's climate goals and provide valuable information on the design of larger plants and the business case for green hydrogen, benefiting both the environment and the economy.
