Summary
Housing in Finland is undergoing a transition towards renewable energy sources and more energy-efficient solutions. In recent years, housing investment company SATO has taken determined steps to promote sustainable urban living and support the green transition of rental housing within its own properties. In 2024, the company invested approximately €1.8 million in locally produced renewable energy. This year, the substantial investments continue.
In addition to solar power systems, SATO is also investing in geothermal heating, which is already the main source of heat in 26 of the company’s properties, housing over 1,800 homes. By switching to geothermal heat, the company has succeeded in reducing the energy consumption of its properties by more than 7,000 MWh per year compared to traditional district heating.
