Helen, a Helsinki-based energy company, has unveiled plans for a large-scale district heating plant complex. Germany's MAN Energy Solutions is supplying a 33 MW air-to-water heat pump, the largest ever used for a district-heating plant, with ambient air and renewable electricity for heat generation.

    Ok but then you’d be living right next to a coal/nuclear power station.

      Nothing wrong with putting nuclear power plant next to where people live and work. They produce good steam for residential and industrial uses.

      They’re designing shipping container sized nuclear power plants in Finland, so living next to one will hopefully soon be a reality for a ton of Finns. These however are much simpler and only heat water, not create electricity.
