Kuusamon energia- ja vesiosuuskunta

Kuusamon energia- ja vesiosuuskunta (EVO) has served the local community since 1950. EVO is responsible for the distribution of clean water, wastewater treatment, and the production and distribution of district heating in the Kuusamo region.

Together with its partner Adven, EVO implemented an arrangement in which the parties participate in the electricity reserve market using a battery energy storage facility to be constructed in Kuusamo, together with other capacity used in EVO’s district heating production. We were pleased to act as the legal adviser of EVO on this pioneering project.
