Espoo will only use renewably-sourced or carbon-neutral heat and electricity by the year 2030.

The use of renewable energy reduces the emissions generated by energy production compared to fossil fuels. Using renewable energy sources will also improve energy security. Espoo is converting its property heating systems using fossil fuels to renewable energy, purchasing energy that is either carbon neutral or has been produced with renewable or equivalent energy sources, and steering local residents towards using renewable energy sources.
