Power systems worldwide are transitioning towards 100% renewable energy, output from variable renewable energy sources is increasing rapidly, and variability of renewable energy sources is increasingly causing a need for traditional thermal power generation to provide flexibility to power systems. We believe that flexibility is the key to profitable power generation. Our engine power plants provide future-proof energy solutions with high flexibility and efficiency.

At Wärtsilä, we want to ensure that our engines run efficiently and reliably regardless of which fuel becomes the leading choice. Whatever the future holds, Wärtsilä’s engines will be able to handle it – so you can invest in a more sustainable future with full confidence today.
