Finnish Clean Energy Association, known in Finnish as Lähienergialiitto, is a Helsinki-based association that promotes distributed renewable energy and smart energy solutions in Finland. Founded in 2013, it works to make the use of renewable energy and intelligent energy systems easier for households, businesses, farms and public bodies.
The organisation’s remit is national rather than local, with a clear focus on helping Finland’s clean energy sector grow. Its stated priorities include renewable energy, energy efficiency and smart energy solutions. In practice, that means advocacy, information work and sector building: the association communicates on policy and technology, organises events and seminars, and carries out development projects. Its membership brings together clean energy companies, renewable energy associations, experts and prosumers.
Lähienergia’s public materials show a broad view of clean energy. It covers solar power, wind power, bioenergy, heat pumps, geothermal heat and waste heat, as well as solutions tied to local production and consumption. The association also uses its website and newsletters to explain policy developments and to share examples of current projects and market trends.
Its headquarters and postal address are in Helsinki, Finland. The organisation’s public-facing contacts list Executive Director Tapio Tuomi, Chair of the Board Jari Varjotie, and Professor Emeritus Raimo Lovio as research lead and honorary chair. Recent website content shows an active calendar of events in Helsinki and online, including seminars on energy service models, district heating and cooling, and training linked to renewable energy adoption.
