06:06 AM EST, 11/12/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Wärtsilä (WRT1V.HE) secured an engineering, procurement, and construction contract from Finnish utility EPV Energy for a 43-megawatt gas-fired power plant in Lappeenranta, Finland. The Finnish marine and energy technology company will also supply four Wärtsilä 34SG engines supported by a six-year service agreement, according to a Thursday release. The project is the second under EPV's balancing power program, which responds to the growing need for fast-reacting and flexible electricity generation as renewable energy rises. The new facility, located on the site of an existing power plant, is expected to become fully operational in the first half of 2029.
