Kellosaari is a 118 MW oil-fired power plant located in Finland, operated by Helsingin Energia. This facility contributes to Finland's energy production, particularly in peak demand scenarios. Kellosaari ranks as the 3rd largest oil plant among 10 oil facilities in Finland. With its capacity of 118 MW, it represents 13.84% of Finland's total oil capacity of 852 MW. The largest oil plant in Finland, Forssa kt, has a capacity of 333 MW, making Kellosaari about one-third its size. Finland has a total of 179 power plants with a combined output of 11,690 MW. Oil has a relatively small role in Finland's energy mix, primarily used for backup and peak load generation. The country is focusing on increasing the share of renewable energy sources, but oil remains essential for energy security during high demand periods. Kellosaari is located in the Uusimaa region, approximately 5 km from Helsinki.
