Voimaosakeyhtiö

Voimaosakeyhtiö, meaning "Power Company Limited" in Finnish, was a Finnish state-owned enterprise established in 1931. Its primary purpose was to manage and develop the state's electricity generation and distribution infrastructure. The company played a crucial role in electrifying rural areas of Finland and ensuring a stable energy supply for the nation. Over the decades, Voimaosakeyhtiö expanded its operations significantly, investing in new power plants and transmission lines.

In 1995, Voimaosakeyhtiö underwent a significant transformation when it was merged with Imatran Voima Oy (IVO) and became a part of the newly formed Fortum Corporation. This merger was part of a broader restructuring of Finland's energy sector, aiming to create a more competitive and efficient market. The legacy of Voimaosakeyhtiö, however, continues within Fortum, which remains a major player in the Finnish and international energy industries. The company's historical contributions are recognized as foundational to the development of modern Finnish energy infrastructure.
