Sallila Energia

What Sallila Energia does

Sallila Energia Oy is a private Finnish regional energy company headquartered in Alastaro. It distributes electricity to households and business customers, including commercial, industrial and power users, across parts of Varsinais-Suomi and Satakunta. Sallila Sähkönsiirto Oy is the wholly owned network-operating subsidiary. Effective 1 May 2026, the electricity sales business and consumer and business electricity contracts transferred to Omavoima Oy, making electricity distribution, connections, metering and related local services the core remaining activities.

Network operations combine a remote-control system introduced in 1971, protection relays, monitoring, SCADA, and approximately 350 remotely controlled circuit breakers and disconnectors across more than 100 substations. Sallila is replacing meters with quarter-hour measurement capability through 2028 and had cabled 71% of the network by early 2026; a 9.8 km 110 kV line between Metsämaa and Loimaa is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. OmaSallila provides account, billing and consumption management, while an automatic outage-monitoring service launched in 2025 supplies 20 kV outage notices and estimated repair times.

After the 2026 sales transfer, the principal revenue mechanism is regulated network-service fees comprising a fixed monthly basic charge and power-based charges for larger users. This is supplemented by connection services and fees for cable locating, tree clearing and professional electrical services. Average network fees increased 6.0% from March 2026, while power-customer billing shifted to the previous month's measured peak with a 50 kW minimum. Annual revenue is not disclosed.
