The Toppila Power Station is a power station in the Toppila district in Oulu, Finland. As of 2019[update] it is one of the largest peat-fired power stations in the world,[1] with an installed capacity of 210 MW of electric power and 340 MW of thermal power. The facility operates two units of 75 MWe and 145 MWe.[2] The boiler was supplied by Tampella and Ahlstrom, and the turbines were supplied by Zamech, LMZ and Ganz. The power station is operated by Oulun Energia.[3]

In 2021 an estimated 2 million tonnes of peat was burnt in Finland.[4] The EU is helping to fund a just transition away from this.[5]
